Reaction catalysed
5-beta-cholestane-3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-triol + 3 NADPH + 3 O(2) <=> (25R)-3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestan-26-oate + 3 NADP(+) + 4 H(2)O
Cofactor(s)
Heme-thiolate.
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme requires ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase.
  • It catalyzes the first three sterol side chain oxidations in bile acid biosynthesis via the neutral (classic) pathway.
  • Can also act on cholesterol, cholest-5-en-3-beta,7-alpha-diol, 7-alpha-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one, and 5-beta-cholestane-3-alpha,7- alpha-diol.
  • The enzyme can also hydroxylate cholesterol at positions 24 and 25.
