CYP3A5 [ENSP00000222982]

Cytochrome P450 3A5; A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of steroid hormones and vitamins (PubMed:2732228, PubMed:10681376, PubMed:11093772, PubMed:12865317). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:2732228, PubMed:10681376, PubMed:11093772). Exhibits high catalytic activity for the formation of catechol estrogens from 17beta- estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1), namely 2-hydroxy E1 and E2 . Catalyzes 6beta-hydroxylation of the steroid hormones testosterone, progesterone, and androstenedione . Catalyzes the oxidative conversion of all-trans- retinol to all-trans-retinal, a rate-limiting step for the biosynthesis of all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) . Further metabolizes all trans-retinoic acid (atRA) to 4-hydroxyretinoate and may play a role in hepatic atRA clearance . Also involved in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics, including calcium channel blocking drug nifedipine and immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine .
