CYP710 family, the Glossary

Cytochrome P450, family 710, also known as CYP710, is a plant cytochrome P450 monooxygenase family, the proteins encoded by its family members are mainly sterol 22-desaturase, which was widely distributed in plants, and take participate in Phytosteroidogenesis.^[1]

Animal

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.

See CYP710 family and Animal

Cytochrome P450

Cytochromes P450 (P450s or CYPs) are a superfamily of enzymes containing heme as a cofactor that mostly, but not exclusively, function as monooxygenases.

See CYP710 family and Cytochrome P450

ERG5

ERG5 or Sterol 22-desaturase is a cytochrome P450 enzyme in the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway of fungi Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker's yeast, a model organism), with the CYP Symbol CYP61A1. CYP710 family and ERG5 are cytochrome P450.

See CYP710 family and ERG5

Eukaryote

The eukaryotes constitute the domain of Eukarya or Eukaryota, organisms whose cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.

See CYP710 family and Eukaryote

Gene duplication

Gene duplication (or chromosomal duplication or gene amplification) is a major mechanism through which new genetic material is generated during molecular evolution.

See CYP710 family and Gene duplication

Monooxygenase

Monooxygenases are enzymes that incorporate one hydroxyl group (−OH) into substrates in many metabolic pathways.

See CYP710 family and Monooxygenase

Plant

Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic.

Protein family

A protein family is a group of evolutionarily related proteins. CYP710 family and protein family are protein families.

See CYP710 family and Protein family

Sequence homology

Sequence homology is the biological homology between DNA, RNA, or protein sequences, defined in terms of shared ancestry in the evolutionary history of life.

See CYP710 family and Sequence homology

Steroid

A steroid is an organic compound with four fused rings (designated A, B, C, and D) arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

See CYP710 family and Steroid

Sterol

Sterol is an organic compound with formula, whose molecule is derived from that of gonane by replacement of a hydrogen atom on C3 position by a hydroxyl group.
