Anti-CYP39A1

cytochrome P450 family 39 subfamily A member 1(CYP39A1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum protein is involved in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. Its substrates include the oxysterols 25-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol and 24-hydroxycholesterol. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013], Protein function: A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in neural cholesterol clearance through bile acid synthesis (PubMed:25201972, PubMed:10748047). Catalyzes 7-alpha hydroxylation of (24S)- hydroxycholesterol, a neural oxysterol that is metabolized to bile acids in the liver (PubMed:25201972, PubMed:10748047). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR, NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:25201972, PubMed:10748047).
