Demonstration of steroid 17 alpha-hydroxylase activity in human fetal kidney, thymus, and spleen.
In previous investigations, steroid 21-hydroxylase activity was demonstrated in human fetal kidney, thymus, and spleen tissues. In the present investigation, steroid 17 alpha-hydroxylase activity also was found in microsome-enriched preparations of human fetal kidney, thymus, and spleen tissues.
