Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450c17 (CYP17) is a single hemoprotein that catalyzes both the 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase reactions in all species thus far examined. Severe defects in CYP17 cause classical 17-hydroxylase deficiency, but other defects result in partial or selective deficiency states. One such variant is the syndrome of isolated 17,20-lyase deficiency. Recent detailed studies of the biochemical properties of...
