Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450IIC5 is a hepatic progesterone 21-hydroxylase while the 95% identical P450IIC4 has a greater than 10-fold higher Km for progesterone 21-hydroxylation and the 74% identical P450IIC1 does not hydroxylate progesterone at detectable rates. Previous work demonstrated that the apparent Km of P450IIC4 for progesterone 21-hydroxylation can be markedly improved by replacing a valine at position 113 with an...
