Molecular Weight: 57661
Clone: Polyclonal
Gene Name: CYP7A1 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:12077124, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:2651}
Gene ID: 1581
Function: A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of endogenous cholesterol and its oxygenated derivatives (oxysterols) (PubMed:11013305, PubMed:12077124, PubMed:19965590, PubMed:2384150, PubMed:21813643) . 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:2384150, PubMed:11013305, PubMed:12077124, PubMed:19965590, PubMed:21813643) . Functions as a critical regulatory enzyme of bile acid biosynthesis and cholesterol homeostasis. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon hydrogen bond at 7-alpha position of cholesterol, a rate-limiting step in cholesterol catabolism and bile acid biosynthesis (PubMed:12077124, PubMed:19965590, PubMed:2384150) . 7-alpha hydroxylates several oxysterols, including 4beta-hydroxycholesterol and 24- hydroxycholesterol (PubMed:11013305, PubMed:12077124) . Catalyzes the oxidation of the 7, 8 double bond of 7-dehydrocholesterol and lathosterol with direct and predominant formation of the 7-keto derivatives (PubMed:21813643) .
