Requires NADPH and EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH---hemoprotein reductase. A microsomal hemeprotein that catalyses two independent reactions at the same active site - the 17alpha-hydroxylation of pregnenolone and progesterone, which is part of glucocorticoid hormones biosynthesis, and the conversion of the 17alpha-hydroxylated products via a 17,20-lyase reaction to form androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone, leading to sex hormone biosynthesis (EC 1.14.14.32, 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone deacetylase). The ratio of the 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities is an important factor in determining the directions of steroid hormone biosynthesis towards biosynthesis of glucocorticoid or sex hormones.
