Li X, Warren D, Gregoire J, Pedersen R, Lee A
Mol Endocrinol . 1989 Dec; 3(12):1944-52. PMID: 2628731
Based on the striking sequence identity between the amino acid sequence of rat steroidogenesis-activator polypeptide (SAP) and the carboxyl terminus of the 78,000 dalton glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), the precursor-product relationship...

Mertz L, Pedersen R
J Biol Chem . 1989 Sep; 264(26):15274-9. PMID: 2549056
The behavior of steroidogenesis activator polypeptide (SAP), a recently described modulator of cholesterol side-chain cleavage activity (Pedersen, R. C., and Brownie, A. C. (1987) Science 236, 188-190), was investigated in...

Frustaci J, Mertz L, Pedersen R
Mol Cell Endocrinol . 1989 Jul; 64(2):137-43. PMID: 2551755
Steroidogenesis activator polypeptide (SAP), a cytosolic stimulator of cholesterol side-chain cleavage (cholesterol SCC) previously characterized in the rat, was isolated from guinea pig adrenal cortex. This factor exhibited behavior on...

Mertz L, Pedersen R
Endocr Res . 1989 Jan; 15(1-2):101-15. PMID: 2759046
Cholesterol side-chain cleavage is sensitive to antibiotic inhibitors of protein synthesis, suggesting that a labile protein may play a regulatory role in this process. We have previously characterized such a...

Pedersen R, BROWNIE A
Science . 1987 Apr; 236(4798):188-90. PMID: 3563495
A cycloheximide-sensitive protein responsive to adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate has been postulated to participate in the regulation of cholesterol side-chain cleavage activity in steroidogenic tissues. Such a steroidogenesis activator polypeptide (SAP) had...

Pedersen R, BROWNIE A
Mol Cell Endocrinol . 1987 Mar; 50(1-2):149-56. PMID: 3582725
Gamma 3-melanotropin (gamma 3-MSH) facilitates a rapid, dose-dependent, and cycloheximide-insensitive increase in the concentration of mitochondrial free cholesterol in the adrenals of hypophysectomized rats. Physiological concentrations of various synthetic and...

Pedersen R, BROWNIE A
Mol Cell Endocrinol . 1987 Mar; 50(1-2):157-64. PMID: 3034697
Gamma 3-melanotropin (gamma 3-MSH) exhibits a marked dose-dependent synergism with ACTH1-24 on corticosterone production by cells isolated from the inner zones of the rat adrenal cortex. This phenomenon is demonstrated...

Pedersen R
J Steroid Biochem . 1987 Jan; 27(4-6):731-5. PMID: 2826905
A steroidogenesis activator polypeptide (SAP) has previously been identified in the rat adrenal cortex (Pedersen and Brownie, Proc. natn. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 80 (1983) 1882-1886). This factor apparently facilitates the...

BROWNIE A, Pedersen R
J Hypertens Suppl . 1986 Dec; 4(5):S72-5. PMID: 3553489
Pro-gamma-melanotropins (pro-gamma-MSH) are implicated in the control of aldosterone secretion by the normal adrenal cortex and in idiopathic hyperaldosteronism. In contrast with other melanotropins (alpha- and beta-MSH), the pro-gamma-MSH increase...

Griffing G, Berelowitz B, Hudson M, Salzman R, Manson J, Aurrechia S, et al.
J Clin Invest . 1985 Jul; 76(1):163-9. PMID: 4019776
A non-ACTH aldosterone-stimulating factor(s) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA). Although this factor has not been fully characterized, some evidence suggests that it may be related...
