Target intelligence / Profile preview
Cytochrome P450 Enzyme (Ergosterol Biosynthesis) (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Cytochrome P450 (CYP superfamily), Monooxygenase
01
Overview
Cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP51/Erg11, are essential monooxygenases in the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway in fungi. They catalyze key oxidative demethylation reactions, converting lanosterol to ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. These enzymes are major targets for antifungal drugs like azoles, which disrupt membrane formation and lead to fungal cell death.
