Regulation of 17α-Hydroxyprogesterone Production during Induced Oocyte Maturation and Ovulation in Amur Sturgeon (<i>Acipenser schrenckii</i>)
In several teleosts, 17α, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) has been identified as a maturation-inducing steroid. DHP is synthesized from 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) by 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 12-like (hsd17b12L). Along with 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Δ5-4 isomerase (3β-HSD)...
