Background
| Function | FUNCTION: A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in sterol biosynthesis. Catalyzes 14-alpha demethylation of lanosterol and 24,25-dihydrolanosterol likely through sequential oxidative conversion of 14-alpha methyl group to hydroxymethyl, then to carboxylaldehyde, followed by the formation of the delta 14,15 double bond in the sterol core and concomitant release of formic acid (PubMed:20149798, PubMed:8619637). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR; NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:20149798, PubMed:8619637). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20149798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8619637}. |
| Pathway | Steroid biosynthesis; zymosterol biosynthesis; zymosterol from lanosterol: step 1/6. |
| Protein Families | Cytochrome P450 family |
| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in testis, ovary, adrenal, prostate, liver, kidney and lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8619637}. |
