cholesterol 7alpha-monooxygenase

7alpha-hydroxylase

bile acid synthesis/the synthesis of the cofactor for PAH(phenylalanine hydroxylase )

Mouse (10090)

4 A1[13122 ],

A heme-thiolate protein (P-450).

"Intriguingly, while the expression of Cyp8b1 is almost extinguished in the livers of mice that lack LRH-1, the expression of the rate-limiting enzyme of BA synthesis, i.e., Cyp7a1, remains unchanged." (17908794)

"This study aimed to evaluate the expression pattern within the liver architecture of the rate-limiting enzyme of the neutral pathway, cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1), and sterol 12alpha-hydroxylase (Cyp8b1), the enzyme necessary for the synthesis of cholic acid." (17237956)

feedback;

"Feedback regulation of the rate-limiting biosynthetic enzyme CYP7A1 is lost in Cyp8b1(-/-) mice, causing expansion of the bile acid pool and alterations in cholesterol metabolism." (12393855)

transcriptional factor;PGC-1alpha(19017)

"CYP7A1 is activated by PGC-1alpha" (14522988)

transcriptional factor;"HNF-4(15378),PGC-1alpha(19017)"

"SREBP-1c functions as a non-DNA-binding inhibitor and mediates, in part, suppression of Cyp7a1 by blocking functional interaction of HNF-4 and PGC-1alpha" (17636037)

transcriptional factor;PGC-1alpha(19017)

"PGC-1alpha is an important co-activator for LRH-1 and that SHP targets the interaction between LRH-1 and PGC-1alpha to inhibit CYP7A1 expression." (18385139)

transcriptional factor;"Thyroid hormone receptors(21833,21834),retinoid X receptor(20181) "

"One site is a DR-0, which is an unusual type of TR response element, and the other consists of only a single recognizable half site that is required for TR/retinoid X receptor (RXR) binding. These two independent TR-binding sites are closely spaced and both are required for full induction of the CYP7A1 promoter by thyroid hormone, although the DR-0 site was more crucial." (16899449)
