IUBMB Comments

A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein. Requires cytochrome b5 for maximal activity. Acts on taurochenodeoxycholate, taurodeoxycholate and less readily on lithocholate and chenodeoxycholate. In adult pig (Sus scrofa), hyocholic acid replaces cholic acid as a primary bile acid .

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms

Synonyms
cyp4a21, taurochenodeoxycholic acid 6alpha-hydroxylase, more
