ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.14.19

Accepted Name
Steroid 17-alpha-monooxygenase.
Alternative Name(s)
CYP17.
CYP17A1.
Cytochrome p450 XVIIA1.
Steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase.
Steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase.
Reaction catalysed
A C(21)-steroid + [reduced NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + O(2) <=> a 17-alpha-hydroxy-C(21)-steroid + [oxidized NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + H(2)O
Cofactor(s)
Heme-thiolate.
Comment(s)
  • Requires NADPH and EC 1.6.2.4.
  • Catalyzes two independent reactions at the same active site - the 17-alpha-hydroxylation of pregnenolone and progesterone, which is part of glucocorticoid hormones biosynthesis, and the conversion of the 17-alpha-hydroxylated products via a 17,20-lyase reaction to form androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone, leading to sex hormone biosynthesis (EC 1.14.14.32).
  • The ratio of the 17-alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities is an important factor in determining the directions of steroid hormone biosynthesis toward biosynthesis of glucocorticoid or sex hormones.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.1.7, EC 1.14.99.9 and EC 1.99.1.9.
