proteins. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D 1-alpha-hydroxylase (VD 1A hydroxylase) also known as calcidiol 1-monooxygenase[ 5 ] or cytochrome p450 27B1 (CYP27B1) or simply 1-alpha-hydroxylase is a cytochrome P450 enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP27B1 gene. [ 6 ][ 7 ][ 8 ] VD 1A hydroxylase is located in the proximal tubule of the kidney and a ...
CYP2R1 is cytochrome P450 2R1, an enzyme which is the principal vitamin D 25-hydroxylase. [5] [6] In humans it is encoded by the CYP2R1 gene located on chromosome 11p15.2. [7]It is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum in liver, where it performs the first step in the activation of vitamin D by catalyzing the formation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. [8]
In enzymology, a cholesterol 25-hydroxylase ( EC 1.14.99.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. The 3 substrates of this enzyme are cholesterol, an electron acceptor AH 2, and O 2, whereas its 3 products are 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), the reduction product A, and H 2 O . This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases ...
Calcitriol is produced in the cells of the proximal tubule of the nephron in the kidneys by the action of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 1-alpha-hydroxylase, a mitochondrial oxygenase and an enzyme which catalyzes the hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (calcifediol) in the 1-alpha position. The activity of this enzyme is stimulated by PTH.
Cytochrome P450 family 24 subfamily A member 1 (abbreviated CYP24A1) is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes encoded by the CYP24A1 gene. It is a mitochondrial monooxygenase which catalyzes reactions including 24-hydroxylation of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3). [5] It has also been identified as vitamin D3 24-hydroxylase.
Vitamin D activation occurs in the kidney. PTH up-regulates 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 1-alpha-hydroxylase, the enzyme responsible for 1-alpha hydroxylation of 25-hydroxy vitamin D, converting vitamin D to its active form (1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D).
CYP7B1. 25-hydroxycholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase also known as oxysterol and steroid 7-alpha-hydroxylase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP7B1 gene. [5][6][7] This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug ...
Calcifediol, also known as calcidiol, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, or 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (abbreviated 25 (OH)D3), [1] is a form of vitamin D produced in the liver by hydroxylation of vitamin D 3 (cholecalciferol) by the enzyme vitamin D 25-hydroxylase. [3][4][5] Calcifediol can be further hydroxylated by the enzyme 25 (OH)D-1α-hydroxylase ...
