Cloned (Comment) Organism
expression of His-tagged cytochrome P450 17alpha hydroxylase/17,20 lyase CYP17 in Escherichia coli Mus musculus

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information knockout of cytochrome P450 17alpha hydroxylase/17,20 lyase CYP17 shows dramatically reduced de novo synthesis of steroids, e.g. progesterone, which can partially be rescued by transfection of CYP17, the latter cells can synthesize progesterone if supplemented with precusors squalene epoxide, lanosterol, zymosterol, and desmosterol, but not squalene Mus musculus

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
additional information inhibitor SU10603 inhibits the cytochrome P450 17alpha hydroxylase/17,20 lyase activity of CYP17 but not the squalene epoxidase activity Mus musculus
