NCBI Protein Information
cytochrome P450, family 710, subfamily A, polypeptide 1
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein with C22-sterol desaturase activity. The enzyme was shown to catalyze in the presence of NADPH the conversion of β-sitosterol to stigmasterol, but not that of 24-epi-campesterol to brassicasterol (unlike CYP710A2).
