its role in the degradation of the sidechain of C27 steroids in the hepatic bile acid biosynthesis pathway, which begins with 7alpha-hydroxylation of cholesterol in liver. However, recognition that in humans P450c27 is a widely or ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial P450, and that there are alternative pathways of bile acid synthesis which begin with 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol catalyzed by P450c27
