Unique ID: C066040
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/C066040
Entry Term(s): 24-MCMDase; 4,4-dimethylsterol 4-demethylase
Registry Numbers: EC 1.13.99.-
Heading Mapped to: *Oxygenases
Frequency: 1
Note: catalyzes the C4 demethylation of 24-methylene cycloartanol to cycloeucalenol; the demethylation involves a 4-methyl-4-hydroxymethyl derivative to a 4-methyl-4-carboxylic acid to a 3-keto-4-methyl cpd to the final cpd; requires NADPH & molecular oxygen; strongly inhibited by cyanide
