Background
cytochrome P450 family 51 subfamily A member 1(CYP51A1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum protein participates in the synthesis of cholesterol by catalyzing the removal of the 14alpha-methyl group from lanosterol. Homologous genes are found in all three eukaryotic phyla, fungi, plants, and animals, suggesting that this is one of the oldest cytochrome P450 genes. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009],
Function
catalytic activity:Obtusifoliol + 3 O(2) + 3 NADPH = 4-alpha-methyl-5-alpha-ergosta-8,14,24(28)-trien-3-beta-ol + formate + 3 NADP(+) + 4 H(2)O.,cofactor:Heme group.,function:Catalyzes C14-demethylation of lanosterol; it transforms lanosterol into 4,4'-dimethyl cholesta-8,14,24-triene-3-beta-ol.,pathway:Steroid biosynthesis; zymosterol biosynthesis; zymosterol from lanosterol: step 1/6.,similarity:Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in testis, ovary, adrenal, prostrate, liver, kidney and lung.,
