Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
With reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor
A P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein. Unlike EC 1.14.14.26, 24-hydroxycholesterol 7alpha-monooxygenase, which is specific for its oxysterol substrate, this enzyme can also metabolize the oxysterols 24,25-epoxycholesterol, 22-hydroxycholesterol and 24-hydroxycholesterol, but to a lesser extent [2]. The direct electron donor to the enzyme is EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH---hemoprotein reductase.
History
EC 1.14.14.29 created 2005 as EC 1.14.13.100, modified 2013 (EC 1.14.13.60 created 1999, incorporated 2013), transferred 2016 to EC 1.14.14.29

Title
7 alpha hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholesterol in liver microsomes. Evidence that the enzyme involved is different from cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase.
