Enzyme Information

1.14.13.70
Sterol 14-alpha-demethylase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q16850
A 14-alpha-methylsteroid + 3 O(2) + 3 NADPH = a Delta(14)-steroid + formate + 3 NADP(+) + 4 H(2)O.
-!- This heme-thiolate (P450) enzyme acts on a range of steroids with a 14-alpha-methyl group, such as obtusifoliol and lanosterol. -!- The enzyme catalyzes two successive hydroxylations of the 14-alpha- methyl group, followed by elimination as formate, leaving a 14(15) double bond.
