Abstract excerpt
A high level of functional recombinant rat cytochrome P450C24 enzyme (CYP24A1) was obtained (40-50mg/L) using an Escherichia coli expression system. Purified enzyme was stable with retention of spectral and catalytic activity. The rate of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] side-chain oxidation and cleavage to the end-product calcitroic acid was directly related to the rate of electron transfer from the...
