General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes C14-demethylation of lanosterol; it transforms lanosterol into 4,4'-dimethyl cholesta-8,14,24-triene-3-beta-ol.

Catalytic activity

Obtusifoliol + 3 O(2) + 3 NADPH = 4-alpha-methyl-5-alpha-ergosta-8,14,24(28)-trien-3-beta-ol + formate + 3 NADP(+) + 4 H(2)O.

Cofactor

Heme group By similarity.

Pathway

Steroid biosynthesis; zymosterol biosynthesis; zymosterol from lanosterol: step 1/6.

Subcellular location

Endoplasmic reticulum membranePotential. Microsome membranePotential.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in testis, ovary, adrenal, prostrate, liver, kidney and lung.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.
