Abstract excerpt
Steroid 17-hydroxylase 17,20-lyase (cytochrome P450c17, P450 17A1, CYP17A1) catalyzes two major reactions: steroid 17-hydroxylation followed by the 17,20-lyase reactions. The most severe mutations in the cognate CYP17A1 gene abrogate all activities and cause combined 17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD), a biochemical phenotype that is replicated by treatment with the potent CYP17A1 inhibitor abiraterone...
