Up-regulation of basal transcriptional activity of the cytochrome P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage (CYP11A) gene by isoform-specific calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase in primary cultures of ovarian granulosa cells.
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
With reduced iron-sulfur protein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor
A heme-thiolate protein (cytochrome P-450). The reaction proceeds in three stages, with two hydroxylations at C-22 and C-20 preceding scission of the side-chain between carbons 20 and 22. The initial source of the electrons is NADPH, which transfers the electrons to the adrenodoxin via EC 1.18.1.6, adrenodoxin-NADP+ reductase.
