    Abstract

    cDNA clones for P-450(16α) were isolated from a male liver λgt11 expression library using antibodies against P-450(16α). The clones encompassed 1633 and 1791 bp, respectively. The latter clone contained the whole coding sequence. The 20 deduced NH2-terminal amino acids were identical to those of P-450h and the cDNA sequence was in complete agreement with that of P-450 (M-1). Northern blots showed that P-450(16α) in the rat liver is pretranslationally regulated by the growth hormone secretory pattern. Southern blots indicated that few genes belong to the same P-450 gene family as P-450(16α).
