Expression of steroidogenic enzymes and metabolism of steroids in COS-7 cells known as non-steroidogenic cells

Abstract The COS-7 (CV-1 in Origin with SV40 genes) cells are known as non-steroidogenic cells because they are derived from kidney cells and the kidney is defined as a non-steroidogenic organ. Therefore, COS-7 cells are used for transfection experiments to analyze the actions of functional molecule...
