Evidence for concerted kinetic oxidation of progesterone by purified rat hepatic cytochrome P-450g.
Biochemistry
July 1988
Department of Molecular Oncology, Roche Institute of Molecular Biology, Nutley, New Jersey 07110.
Purified cytochrome P-450g, a male-specific rat hepatic isozyme, was observed to metabolize progesterone to two primary metabolites (6 beta-hydroxyprogesterone and 16 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone), two secondary metabolites (6 beta,16 alpha-dihydroxyprogesterone and 6-ketoprogesterone), and one tertiary metabolite (6-keto-16 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone). The Km,app for the formation of these products from progesterone was determined to be approximately 0.5 microM, while the Km,app for metabolism of 6 beta- and 16 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone was found to be 5-10 microM.
