Unique ID: D002790
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002790
Scope Note: A membrane-bound cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 7-alpha-hydroxylation of CHOLESTEROL in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP7, converts cholesterol to 7-alpha-hydroxycholesterol which is the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of BILE ACIDS.
Entry Term(s): CYP 7; CYP 7A; CYP7; CYP7A; Cholesterol 7-alpha-Monooxygenase; Cholesterol 7alpha-Hydroxylase; Cholesterol-7-Hydroxylase; Cytochrome P-450 CYP7; Cytochrome P450 7
