Entry
EC 1.14.13.17               Enzyme                                 

Name cholesterol 7alpha-monooxygenase;
cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase;
CYP7A1
Class Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or
reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived
from O2;
With NADH or NADPH as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of
oxygen into the other donor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname cholesterol,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (7alpha-hydroxylating)
Reaction(IUBMB) cholesterol + NADPH + H+ + O2 = 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol + NADP+ +
