CYP11A1 encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme mitochondrial localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane and catalyzes the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone, the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of the steroid hormones. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The cellular location of the smaller isoform is unclear since it lacks the mitochondrial-targeting transit peptide. 蛋白別名為：CYP11A1; CYP11A; Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, mitochondrial; CYPXIA1; Cholesterol desmolase; Cytochrome P450 11A1; Cytochrome P450(scc);基因ID為：1583；蛋白質ID:P05108
