Detection of Abacavir-Induced Structural Alterations in Human Leukocyte Antigen-B*57 : 01 Using Phage Display.

abstract：:Meiosis activating sterol (MAS), the intermediate of cholesterol biosynthesis, is an important substance to stimulate oocytes maturation in FSH-induced signal transduction pathway. Lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51) converts lanosterol to MAS. Although MAS is firstly isolated from bovine testis, the information ab...
