CYP11A1(Cytochrome p450, family 11, subfamily A, polypeptide 1), also called CYTOCHROME P450SCC, CYTOCHROME P450C11A1 or CYP11A，is a mitochondrial enzyme associated with the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone.
CYP11A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes.
The CYP11A1 gene is mapped on 15q24.1.
Expression of the CYP11A1 gene may play a role in skin physiology and pathology and that cutaneous proopiomelanocortin activity may be autoregulated by a feedback mechanism involving glucocorticoids synthesized locally by Slominski et al.
Using in vitro studies, CYP11A1 catalyzed the side-chain cleavage of 7-dehydrocholesterol to form 7-dehydropregnenolone.
In addition, CYP11A1 catalyzed the metabolism of biologically inert vitamin D3, which is formed from 7-dehydrocholesterol, to form 2 hydroxylated products, 20-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 20,22-dihydroxyvitamin D3.
Mutations in the CYP11A1 gene cause congenital adrenal insufficiency with partial or complete 46,XY sex reversal.
