Unique ID: D058886
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D058886
Scope Note: An NADPH-dependent P450 enzyme that plays an essential role in the sterol biosynthetic pathway by catalyzing the demethylation of 14-methyl sterols such as lanosterol. The enzyme acts via the repeated hydroxylation of the 14-methyl group, resulting in its stepwise conversion into an alcohol, an aldehyde and then a carboxylate, which is removed as formic acid. Sterol 14-demethylase is an unusual cytochrome P450 enzyme in that it is found in a broad variety of organisms including ANIMALS; PLANTS; FUNGI; and protozoa.
Entry Term(s): CYP51 Cytochrome P-450; Cytochrome P-450 CYP51; Eburicol 14 alpha-Demethylase; Eburicol 14alpha-Demethylase; Lanosterol 14 alpha-Demethylase; Obtusifoliol 14alpha-Demethylase; Sterol 14-Demethylases; Sterol 14-alpha-Demethylase
