Ginsenoside Rg1 Activates Dendritic Cells and Acts as a Vaccine Adjuvant Inducing Protective Cellular Responses Against Lymphomas.

abstract：:Cytochrome P450c17 catalyzes the 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase activity needed for sex steroid synthesis. We recently characterized the nuclear phosphoprotein SET as a novel transcriptional regulator that binds to the -447/-399 region of the rat P450c17 gene, along with the transcription factors COUP-TF II, NGF-IB, ...
