Journal ArticleDOI
Ligand interactions with hemoprotein P-450. II. Influence of phenobarbital and methylcholanthrene induction processes on P-450 spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytochrome P-450-dependent oxidation of lanosterol in cholesterol biosynthesis. Microsomal electron transport and C-32 demethylation.
TL;DR: Electron transfer to rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 of 14 alpha-methyl group demethylation of 24,25-dihydrolanosterol (C30-sterol) has been studied with a new radio-high-performance liquid chromatography assay and supports the suggestion that 14alpha-hydroxymethyl and aldehydic sterols are metabolic intermediates of sterol 14Alpha-demethylation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsomal enzymes of cholesterol biosynthesis. Purification of lanosterol 14 alpha-methyl demethylase cytochrome P-450 from hepatic microsomes.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that a single isozyme of cytochrome P-450 is responsible for all three oxidations and the lyase activity involved in the lanosterol C-32 demethylation sequence is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane-bound enzymes of cholesterol synthesis from lanosterol.
TL;DR: A plausible 19-step sequence of enzymatic reactions can now be written as a result of studies that have progressed from organic synthesis of the presumed intermediate, generation of the intermediate in microsomes, further enzyme conversion to cholesterol, Solubilization and purification of the membrane-bound enzyme that acts on the intermediate, and reconstitution of groups of solubilized enzymes into artificial membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsomal enzymes of cholesterol biosynthesis from lanosterol. Solubilization and purification of steroid 8-isomerase.
TL;DR: The results are consistent with the earlier suggestion that delta 8(14)-sterols are neither formed nor metabolized by the same microsomal enzymes that catalyze transformation of lanosterol to cholesterol.
