Cytochrome P450, family 27, subfamily A, polypeptide 1, also known as CYP27A1, is a vertebrate gene.[1]

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 metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This mitochondrial protein oxidizes cholesterol intermediates as part of the bile synthesis pathway. Since the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids is the major route for removing cholesterol from the body, this protein is important for overall cholesterol homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause cerebrotendineous xanthomatosis, a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease.[1]

[edit] Summary

CYP27A1 is a gene encoding a cytochrome P450 oxidase, and is commonly known as sterol 27-hydroxylase, an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of bile acids. CYP27A1 participates in the degradation of cholesterol to bile acids in both the classic and acidic pathways. It is the initiating enzyme in the acidic pathway to bile acids, yielding oxysterols by introducing a hydroxyl group to the carbon at the 27 position in cholesterol. Mutations in CYP27A1 are associated with cerebrotendineous xanthomatosis, a rare lipid storage disease.
