Abstract

Regulation of the expression of steroid hydroxylase genes in the adrenal cortex involves mechanisms required for maintenance of optimal steroidogenesis, tissue specificity, and ontogeny of the steroidogenic pathway. Evaluation of the molecular basis of this complexity promises to unfold new aspects of regulated eukaryotic gene expression.
