Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are an essential family of enzymes in the human body. They play a crucial role in metabolism, especially in human steroid biosynthesis. Reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are highly stereo- and regio-specific.

The complexities in genotyping of congenital adrenal hyperplasia: 21-hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]
The deficiency of 21-hydroxylase due to CYP21A2 pathogenic variants is a rather frequent disease with serious consequences, going from a real mortality risk to infertility and to milder symptoms, nevertheless important for affecting the patients’ self ...

Synthesis of halogenated pregnanes, mechanistic probes of steroid hydroxylases CYP17A1 and CYP21A2 [PDF]
The human steroidogenic cytochromes P450 CYP17A1 (P450c17, 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase) and CYP21A2 (P450c21, 21-hydroxylase) are required for the biosynthesis of androgens, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids. Both enzymes hydroxylate progesterone at adjacent, distal carbon atoms and show limited tolerance for substrate modification.

Expanded carrier screening for inherited genetic disease using exome and genome sequencing
Abstract The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of using exome (ES) and genome sequencing (GS) in guiding preconception genetic screening (PCGS) for couples who are planning to conceive by creating a workflow for identifying risk alleles for autosomal recessive (AR) and X‐linked (XL) disorders without the constraints of a predetermined ...

Suboptimal psychosocial outcomes in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia : epidemiological studies in a nonbiased national cohort in Sweden [PDF]
Context: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), CYP21A2 deficiency, results in cortisol and aldosterone deficiency and increased production of androgens, with a good genotype phenotype correlation.

Immunometabolism of Liver Xenotransplantation and Prospective Solutions
After xenotransplantation, pig livers will replace those of human patients to maintain the stability of metabolism and immune system. The incompatibility of immunometabolism between humans and pigs induces rejection, inflammation, coagulation dysfunction, and liver failure. The profile of immunometabolism pre‐transplantation and post‐transplantation is

HIV Drug Efavirenz Inhibits CYP21A2 Activity with Possible Clinical Implications [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir have recently been reported to cause transient adrenal insufficiency in preterm newborns. We, therefore, considered HIV drugs as a cause of transiently elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) levels in a neonatal screening test for congenital adrenal hyperplasia in ...

Steroid 21-hydroxylase is an enzyme of the steroid pathway that is involved in the biosynthesis of cortisol and aldosterone by hydroxylation of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and progesterone at the C21 position.
