Background Information
Cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1) is a critical steroidogenic enzyme, essential for producing glucocorticoids and sex hormones (PMID: 33781841). The CYP17A1 gene is expressed in the adrenal cortex and the gonads but not in the placenta (PMID: 19403566). Although CYP17A1 has been shown to be a 50-kDa protein, the presence of a lower molecular mass(30 kDa) immunoreactive form in rat Leydig cells was previously shown and it is either a degradation product or a truncated form of the 50 kDa enzyme (PMID: 15761033). Defects in CYP17A1 are the cause of adrenal hyperplasia type 5 (AH5) and CYP17A1 is an important target for inhibition in the treatment of prostate cancer (PMID: 27505042).
