Taurochenodeoxycholate 6alpha-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.97 CYP3A4 CYP4A21 taurochenodeoxycholate 6alpha-monooxygenase) is an enzyme with system name taurochenodeoxycholateNADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6alpha-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction (1) taurochenodeoxycholate + NADPH + H+ + O2 taurohyocholate + NADP+ + H2O (2) lithocholate + NADPH + H+ + O2 hyodeoxycholate + NADP+ + H2OTaurochenodeoxycholate 6α-hydroxylase is a heme-thiolate protein (P-450).
