Figure Lengend Snippet: Measurement of enzymatic activity of recombinant CYP19A1 wild-type and mutant proteins. In two sets of experiments, 3 H-testosterone and 3 H-androstenedione were converted to 3 H-estradiol and 3 H-estrone, respectively, under standardized reaction conditions. After a reaction time of 30 min, the products were separated via HPLC and the 3 H activity was measured in the collected fractions. The X -axis shows the mean values of the 3 H activity in the androgen substrates and in the estrogen products of three experiments, each as a percentage of the input 3 H activity. Error bars indicate standard errors of the mean.
Article Snippet: The anti-CYP19A1 mouse monoclonal antibody raised against polypeptide AA376-390 of human CYP19A1 (clone H4, SM2222P, Acris Antibodies, Herford, Germany) and the anti-ACTB mouse monoclonal antibody against chicken beta-actin (sc-47778, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA) served as the primary antibodies.
