Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450c17 (EC 1.14.99.9) catalyzes both 17 alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities in mammalian steroidogenesis and also has some 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity. The ratio of 17 alpha-hydroxylase to 17,20-lyase activity differs in the adrenal and testis and is developmentally regulated at adrenarche, but the nature of the enzyme's active site and the differential regulation of its two principal...
