This region represents the promoter of the cytochrome P450 family 11 subfamily A member 1 (CYP11A1) gene. This sequence is regulated by hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin in the adrenals and gonads. It responds to cyclic AMP and binding of nuclear receptor family members such as Nr5a1/Sf1 and additional transcriptional regulators to proximal and distal sequence modules.
