additional information 17alphahydroxylase/17,20-lyase knock-down clone shows dramatically reducued human chorionic gonadotropin-induced progesterone formation and de novo synthesis of steroids. Addition of squalene epoxide, lanosterol, zymosterol, and desmosterol can rescue the hormone-induced progesterone formation Mus musculus
