Function: A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of endogenous oxysterols and steroid hormones, including neurosteroids (PubMed:10588945, PubMed:24491228) . 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:10588945, PubMed:24491228) . Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon hydrogen bonds of steroids with a preference for 7-alpha position (PubMed:10588945, PubMed:24491228) . Usually metabolizes steroids carrying a hydroxy group at position 3, functioning as a 3- hydroxy steroid 7-alpha hydroxylase (PubMed:24491228) . Hydroxylates oxysterols, including 25-hydroxycholesterol and (25R) -cholest-5-ene- 3beta, 26-diol toward 7-alpha hydroxy derivatives, which may be transported to the liver and converted to bile acids (PubMed:9802883, PubMed:10588945) . Via its product 7-alpha, 25-dihydroxycholesterol, a ligand for the chemotactic G protein-coupled receptor GPR183/EBI2, regulates B cell migration in germinal centers of lymphoid organs, thus guiding efficient maturation of plasma B cells and overall antigen- specific humoral immune response (By similarity) . 7-alpha hydroxylates neurosteroids, including 3beta-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one (dehydroepiandrosterone) and pregnenolone, both involved in hippocampus-associated memory and learning (PubMed:24491228) . Metabolizes androstanoids toward 6- or 7-alpha hydroxy derivatives (PubMed:24491228) .
