Background
cytochrome P450 family 39 subfamily A member 1(CYP39A1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum protein is involved in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. Its substrates include the oxysterols 25-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol and 24-hydroxycholesterol. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function
catalytic activity:(24R)-cholest-5-ene-3-beta,24-diol + NADPH + O(2) = (24R)-cholest-5-ene-3-beta,7-alpha,24-triol + NADP(+) + H(2)O.,cofactor:Heme group.,function:Involved in the bile acid metabolism. Has a preference for 24-hydroxycholesterol, and converts it into a 7-alpha-hydroxylated product.,similarity:Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.,tissue specificity:Liver specific.,
