Cytochrome P450-DIT2 or CYP56A1 is one of the only three P450 enzyme found in
fungi baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), the other two are
CYP51F1(ERG11) and
CYP61A1(ERG5) in the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway.[1] CYP56A1 thought to catalyze the
oxidation of
tyrosine residues in the formation of L,L-
dityrosine, a precursor of the
spore wall.[2]
