" /> cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme - CISMeF





Preferred Label : cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme;

MeSH definition : A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the side-chain cleavage of C27 cholesterol to C21 pregnenolone in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP11A1 gene, catalyzes the breakage between C20 and C22 which is the initial and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of various gonadal and adrenal steroid hormones.;

MeSH synonym : cholesterol monooxygenase (side-chain-cleaving); cytochrome p450 11a1; cyp11a1; cytochrome p-450 cyp11a1; cytochrome p-450(scc); cholesterol desmolase; cyp 11a1; cytochrome p 450 cyp11a1; cytochrome p450scc; 20,22 desmolase; 20,22-desmolase; cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme;

MeSH CAS label : cholesterol,reduced-adrenal-ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (side-chain-cleaving);

Registry Number MeSH : EC 1.14.15.6;
