ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.13.70

Accepted Name
Sterol 14-alpha-demethylase.
Alternative Name(s)
Cytochrome P450 51.
Lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase.
Lanosterol 14-demethylase.
Obtusufoliol 14-demethylase.
Sterol 14-alpha-demethylase.
Reaction catalysed
A 14-alpha-methylsteroid + 3 O(2) + 3 NADPH <=> a Delta(14)-steroid + formate + 3 NADP(+) + 4 H(2)O
Cofactor(s)
Heme-thiolate.
Comment(s)
  • This heme-thiolate (P450) enzyme acts on a range of steroids with a 14-alpha-methyl group, such as obtusifoliol and lanosterol.
  • The enzyme catalyzes two successive hydroxylations of the 14-alpha- methyl group, followed by elimination as formate, leaving a 14(15) double bond.
