Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme Taurochenodeoxycholate 6alpha-hydroxylase (Template:EC number, CYP3A4, CYP4A21, taurochenodeoxycholate 6alpha-monooxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name taurochenodeoxycholate,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6alpha-hydroxylating).[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (1) taurochenodeoxycholate + NADPH + H+ + O2 taurohyocholate + NADP+ + H2O
- (2) lithocholate + NADPH + H+ + O2 hyodeoxycholate + NADP+ + H2O
Taurochenodeoxycholate 6α-hydroxylase is a heme-thiolate protein (P-450).
