Description
A heme-thiolate protein (P-450). This is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the bile acid cholic acid (3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholanoic acid). The activity of this enzyme determines the biosynthetic ratio between cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid. The enzyme can also hydroxylate the substrate at the 25 and 26 position, but to a lesser extent.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
5β-cholestane-3α,7α-diol 12α-monooxygenase; sterol 12α-hydroxylase (ambiguous); CYP8B1; cytochrome P450 8B1
Reaction
5β-cholestane-3α,7α-diol + NADPH + H+ + O2 = 5β-cholestane-3α,7α,12α-triol + NADP+ + H2O
