Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450c17 catalyzes steroid 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities and hence is a key enzyme in the production of human glucocorticoids and sex steroids. These two activities are catalyzed in a single substrate-binding site but are regulated independently in human physiology. We have recently shown that cytochrome b5 facilitates 17,20-lyase activity by allosterically promoting the interaction of...
