Abstract excerpt
Human P450c17 catalyzes the 17alpha-hydroxylation of pregnenolone to 17OH pregnenolone and of progesterone to 17alpha-OH progesterone; the same P450c17 enzyme also catalyzes 17,20 lyase activity on the same active site, converting 17OH-pregnenolone to DHEA. Rodent and porcine P450c17 also catalyze 17,20 lyase activity with delta4 substrates, converting 17OH-progesterone to delta4 androstenedione, but human...
