BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
cholesterol,NADPH---hemoprotein reductase:oxygen oxidoreductase (7alpha-hydroxylating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
cholesterol + [reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol + [oxidized NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] + H2O [RN:
R01463 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
cholesterol [CPD:
C00187 ];
[reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] [CPD:
C03024 ];
O2 [CPD:
C00007 ]
Product
7alpha-hydroxycholesterol [CPD:
C03594 ];
[oxidized NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] [CPD:
C03161 ];
H2O [CPD:
C00001 ]
Comment
A P-450 heme-thiolate liver protein that catalyses the first step in the biosynthesis of bile acids. The direct electron donor to the enzyme is EC
1.6.2.4 , NADPH---hemoprotein reductase.
History
EC 1.14.14.23 created 1976 as EC 1.14.13.17, transferred 2016 to EC 1.14.14.23
Pathway
ec00120 Primary bile acid biosynthesis
ec00140 Steroid hormone biosynthesis
Orthology
K00489 cholesterol 7alpha-monooxygenase
