    摘要: A cDNA clone is isolated encoding a bovine adrenal cytochrome P-450 specific for steroid 21-hydroxylation (P-450.sub.C21). This plasmid pC21a contains an insert of 520 base pairs. It hybridizes with mRNA encoding P-450.sub.C21. The peptide encoded by the insert is highly homologous to two peptides isolated from porcine P-450.sub.C21 and shows limited homology to the P-450 induced by phenobarbital in rat liver. This probe and its human equivalents can be used to screen in utero i.e. pre-natal as well as post-natal patients for adrenal hyperplasia since it reacts well with human DNA as shown. These probes can also be useful for an industrial fermentation process to produce cortisone in quantity.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for reducing oxidative damage in a mammal, a removed organ, or a cell in need thereof The method comprises administering an effective amount of an aromatic cationic peptide. The aromatic cationic peptide has (a) at least one net positive charge; (b) a minimum of three amino acids; (c) a maximum of about twenty amino acids, (d) a relationship between the minimum number of net positive charges (pm) and the total number of amino acid residues (r) wherein 3 pm is the largest number that is less than or equal to r+1; (e) a relationship between the minimum number of aromatic groups (a) and the total number of net positive charges (pt) wherein 3a or 2a is the largest number that is less than or equal to pt+1, except that when a is 1, pt may also be 1; and (f) at least one tyrosine or tryptophan amino acid.
