Lanosterol 14 α-demethylase (or CYP51A1, P45014DM) is a cytochrome P450 (family 51, subfamily A, polypeptide 1) enzyme that converts lanosterol to cholesterol.

It is a target for antifungal drugs, inhibiting the production of ergosterol. Over-expression of CYP51A1 can lead to resistance to these antifungals.^[1]
