Differential expression of steroidogenic factors 1 and 2, cytochrome p450scc, and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in human pancreas.

Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the 4 gene transcripts, steroidogenic factors 1 (SF-1) and 2 (SF-2), steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR), and cytochrome P450 11A1, involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones in normal human pancreas.Methods:Total RNA was ext
