DAPI was used as a nuclear counter stain. Followed by Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb secondary antibody. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope. The section was incubated in three rounds of staining : in the order of ab274418, ab272494, and ab221145 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins was used.

Biological function summary
CYP11A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily a large group of enzymes known for their role in oxidation and metabolism. It exists in the mitochondrial electron transport chain working closely with proteins such as ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase. These interactions facilitate the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. Through these biochemical activities CYP11A1 controls the synthesis rate of steroid hormones influencing various physiological functions including metabolism immune response and reproductive system dynamics.
Pathways
CYP11A1 operates within the steroidogenesis pathway which is essential for the synthesis of steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. It directly interacts with StAR protein which transports cholesterol into mitochondria initiating the steroidogenesis process. Moreover CYP11A1 fits into the pregnenolone biosynthesis pathway showing functional connectivity with other cytochrome P450 enzymes like CYP17A1. These interconnected pathways highlight the role of CYP11A1 as a vital catalyst in hormone synthesis affecting both endocrine and metabolic pathways.
