Research Abstract |
In the adrenal cortex of female mice, we found the zone in which CYP11B1/B2 and CYP21 could not be detected. This zone is contiguous to adrenal medulla. In the zone, steroid hormone producing enzymes which are involved in the production of progesterone were expressed. In aromatase-deficient female mice, the contiguous region to adrenal medulla expressed CYP11B1(/B2), suggesting the role of estrogen in the formation of this zone.
