Cytochrome P450, family 17, subfamily A, polypeptide 1

The CYP17A1 gene encodes an enzyme that is located in the endoplasmic reticulum. It has both 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities. I plays an importand role in sythesis of mayn steroid hormones including progestins, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens. Depending on the character, mutations cause isolated steroid-17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency or combined 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency. Both disorders are autosomal recessive.
