Literature on CYP39A1

CYP39A1 [ENSP00000275016]

24-hydroxycholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase; A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in neural cholesterol clearance through bile acid synthesis (PubMed:25201972, PubMed:10748047). Catalyzes 7-alpha hydroxylation of (24S)- hydroxycholesterol, a neural oxysterol that is metabolized to bile acids in the liver . 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) .
