Loss of Two Steroid 11β-Hydroxylating Components in a Rat Adrenocortical Carcinoma2

Abstract
Examination of the Snell homologously transferred rat Adrenocarcinoma 494 indicated a loss of two components (F-40 and F-80) associated with steroid 11β-hydroxylation in normal adrenal tissue. The tumor retained the mechanisms associated with 21-hydroxylation of progesterone and C-5 isomerization and C-3 oxidation of pregnenolone.
