PD98059 | inhibitor of the MEK/ERK pathway. Treatment of cells with PD98059 (10 mM) at 24 and 48 h results in significant increases in the protein levels of CYP17. Production of androstenedione and estradiol significantly increases after treatment with PD98059 | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | the MEK/ERK pathway functions to inhibit the production of CYP17, while enhance the production of CYP19 in granulosa cells, probably involving a mechanism depending on c-fos, a downstream target of mitogen and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (MEK/ERK) signaling | Homo sapiens |
