Mechanistic studies of lanosterol 14 alpha-methyl demethylase: substrate requirements for the component reactions catalyzed by a single cytochrome P-450 isozyme.

Mechanistic studies of lanosterol 14 alpha-methyl demethylase: substrate requirements for the component reactions catalyzed by a single cytochrome P-450 isozyme.

Lanosterol 14 alpha-methyl demethylation is a cytochrome P-450-dependent process that proceeds through the oxidative sequence of alcohol, aldehyde followed by decarbonylation with formic acid release. Microsomal metabolism studies shown here indicate that only lanostenols and 32-oxy-lanostenols with...
