Abstract | Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBP) mediate CYP51 gene expression in somatic cells, while in germ cells CYP51 gene expression is mediated by the cAMP-regulatory element modulator CREMt. We propose that the dual CYP51 gene regulation leads either to cholesterol or to synthesis of CYP51 metabolites whic are important in reproduction of mammals. | |
Summary | Proteini, ki se vežejo na s steroli uravnavana zaporedja (srebp), uravnavajo izražanje gena CYP51 v telesnih celicah, v moških spolnih celicah pa izražanje gena CYP51 uravnava od cAMP-odvisni element modulator (CREMt). Predpostavljamo, da dvojno uravnavanje izražanje gena CYP51 povzroči bodisi biosintezo holesterola ali pa biosintezo CYP51 metabolitov, ki so pomembni v reprodukciji sesalcev. | |
