D003577	Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System	A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.

D013254	Steroid 17-alpha-Hydroxylase	A microsomal cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 17-alpha-hydroxylation of progesterone or pregnenolone and subsequent cleavage of the residual two carbons at C17 in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP17 gene, generates precursors for glucocorticoid, androgen, and estrogen synthesis. Defects in CYP17 gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia (ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL) and abnormal sexual differentiation.	17 alpha-Hydroxylase,17,20-Lyase,CYP17,Cytochrome P-450(17 alpha),P450(c17),Steroid 17 alpha-Monooxygenase,Steroid 17-Hydroxylase,Steroid 17-Monooxygenase,17 alpha-Hydroxylase Cytochrome P-450,17 alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone Aldolase,17,20-Desmolase,Cytochrome P-450(17-alpha),Cytochrome P450(17 alpha),Hydroxyprogesterone Aldolase,Steroid 17 alpha-Hydroxylase,Steroid-17-Hydroxylase,17 alpha Hydroxylase,17 alpha Hydroxylase Cytochrome P 450,17 alpha Hydroxyprogesterone Aldolase,17 alpha-Hydroxylase, Steroid,17 alpha-Monooxygenase, Steroid,17,20 Desmolase,17,20 Lyase,17-Hydroxylase, Steroid,17-Monooxygenase, Steroid,17-alpha-Hydroxylase, Steroid,Aldolase, 17 alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone,Aldolase, Hydroxyprogesterone,Steroid 17 Hydroxylase,Steroid 17 Monooxygenase,Steroid 17 alpha Hydroxylase,Steroid 17 alpha Monooxygenase,alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone Aldolase, 17,alpha-Monooxygenase, Steroid 17
