CYP51A1 protein
Lanosterol 14-alpha demethylase (LDM) (EC 1.14.14.154) (CYPLI) (Cytochrome P450 51A1) (CYP51A1) (Cytochrome P450-14DM) (Cytochrome P45014DM) (Cytochrome P450LI) (Sterol 14-alpha demethylase)
SynonymsCYP51
DescriptionFUNCTION: Sterol 14alpha-demethylase that plays a critical role in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, being cholesterol the major sterol component in mammalian membranes as well as a precursor for bile acid and steroid hormone synthesis . Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that catalyzes the three-step oxidative removal of the 14alpha-methyl group (C-32) of sterols such as lanosterol (lanosta-8,24-dien-3beta-ol) and 24,25-dihydrolanosterol (DHL) in the form of formate, and converts the sterols to 4,4-dimethyl-5alpha-cholesta-8,14,24-trien-3beta-ol and 4,4-dimethyl-8,14-cholestadien-3beta-ol, respectively, which are intermediates of cholesterol biosynthesis . Can also demethylate substrates not intrinsic to mammals, such as eburicol (24-methylene-24,25-dihydrolanosterol), but at a lower rate than DHL . .
