| EC Number | 1.14.15.6 |
| CAS Registry Number | 37292-81-2 |
| Comments | A heme-thiolate protein (cytochrome P450). 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, adrenodoxin-NADP+ reductase. |
| Cofactor | heme-thiolate |
| History | |
| Reactions | Cholesterol + 6 reduced adrenodoxin + 3 O(2) + 6 H(+) = pregnenolone + 4-methylpentanal + 6 oxidized adrenodoxin + 4 H(2)O. |
