P450 enzymes constitute a family of monooxygenase enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of a wide array of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. Several P450 enzymes have been classified by sequence similarities as members of the CYP1A and CYP2A subfamilies. CYP51A1 (cytochrome P450, family 51, subfamily A, polypeptide 1), also known as LDM (lanosterol 14-alpha demethylase) or cytochrome P450-14DM, is a 503 amino acid protein localized to endoplasmic reticulum membrane. CYP51A1 is an important enzyme for zymosterol and steroid biosynthesis. CYP51A1 catalyzes C14-demethylation of lanosterol, transforming lanosterol into 4,4'-dimethyl cholesta-8,14,24-triene-3-beta-ol. CYP51A1 is ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels found in liver, ovary, testis, lung, kidney and prostate.
