ACTH stimulation on cholesterol side chain cleavage activity of adrenocortical mitochondria

Transfer of the stimulus from plasma membrane to mitochondria

  • Published:
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Adrenocortical mitochondrial cholesterol side chain cleavage reactions are regulated by the influence of pituitary ACTH. The mechanism of the stimulation involves adenyl cyclase, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cholesterol esterase, and ribosomal labile protein synthesis. Through these reactions the stimulus reaches the mitochondrial side chain cleavage enzyme system. In this review article, the current implications on the stimulus transfer from the plasma membrane to the mitochondrial inner membrane are summarized. In particular the availability of cholesterol to P-450scc was discussed in terms of the distribution of cholesterol molecules in the membranes.
