FunFam 15: Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, mitochondr...

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Cholesterol monooxygenase (side-chain-cleaving). [EC: 1.14.15.6]
Cholesterol + 6 reduced adrenodoxin + 3 O(2) + 6 H(+) = pregnenolone + 4-methylpentanal + 6 oxidized adrenodoxin + 4 H(2)O.
  • The reaction proceeds in three stages, with two hydroxylations at C-22 and C-20 preceding scission of the side-chain between carbons 20 and 22.
  • The initial source of the electrons is NADPH, which transfers the electrons to the adrenodoxin via EC 1.18.1.6.

Steroid 11-beta-monooxygenase. [EC: 1.14.15.4]
A steroid + 2 reduced adrenodoxin + O(2) + 2 H(+) = an 11-beta- hydroxysteroid + 2 oxidized adrenodoxin + H(2)O.
  • Also hydroxylates steroids at the 18-position, and converts 18-hydroxycorticosterone into aldosterone.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.1.6 and EC 1.99.1.7.

Corticosterone 18-monooxygenase. [EC: 1.14.15.5]
Corticosterone + 2 reduced adrenodoxin + O(2) + 2 H(+) = 18-hydroxycorticosterone + 2 oxidized adrenodoxin + H(2)O.
