A desmolase enzyme is one that catalyzes the formation or destruction of carbon-carbon bonds within a molecule. These enzymes play a significant role in respiration and fermentation. Desmolases are involved in steroidogenesis. Examples of desmolases are: *Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, also called 20,22-desmolase; converts cholesterol to pregnenolone. *17,20 Desmolase, also called CYP17A1 or 17α-hydroxylase; converts pregnenolone to 17-hydroxypregnenolone, progesterone to 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and corticosterone to aldosterone. *Diacetyl desmolase is added to beer late in the brewing process to remove diacetyl flavor that may have accumulated during processing. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Desmolase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
