cholesterol + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + H+ + O2 | Homo sapiens | initiates cholesterol degradation in the brain. In addition to the involvement in cholesterol homeostasis in the brain, this enzyme may participate in metabolism of neurosteroids and drugs that can cross the blood-brain barrier and are targeted to the central nervous system | (24S)-24-hydroxycholesterol + [oxidized NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + H2O | - |

additional information | the enzyme is able to carry out side chain hydroxylations of two endogenous C27-steroids with and without a double bond between C5-C6 (7R-hydroxycholesterol and cholestanol, respectively) and introduce a hydroxyl group on the steroid nucleus of the C21-steroid hormones with the C4-C5 double bond (progesterone and testosterone). P450 46A1 metabolizes xenobiotics carrying out dextromethorphan O-demethylation and N-demethylations, diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation, and phenacetin O-deethylation | Homo sapiens | ? | - |
