Cholesterol 7alpha hydroxylase

Introduction: Cholesterol 7alpha hydroxylase

Description of Cholesterol 7alpha hydroxylase

Cholesterol 7alpha hydroxylase: 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.
