Term Name:	taurochenodeoxycholate 6alpha-hydroxylase activity
Synonyms:	CYP3A4, CYP4A21, taurochenodeoxycholate 6alpha-monooxygenase activity, taurochenodeoxycholate,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6alpha-hydroxylating) activity
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: taurochenodeoxycholate + O2 + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + = taurohyocholate H+ + H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]. Acts on taurochenodeoxycholate, taurodeoxycholate and less readily on lithocholate and chenodeoxycholate.
