Descriptor English: Steroid 21-Hydroxylase
Descriptor Spanish: Esteroide 21-Hidroxilasa
Descriptor esteroide 21-hidroxilasa
Entry term(s) CYP21 del citocromo P-450
esteroide 21-monooxigenasa
Scope note: Enzima del citocromo P450 de los microsomas de la corteza suprarrenal que cataliza la 21-hidroxilación de esteroides en presencia de oxígeno molecular y NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEÍNA REDUCTASA. Esta enzima, codificada por el gen CYP21, convierte las progesteronas en precursores de hormonas esteroides suprarrenales (CORTICOSTERONA, HIDROCORTISONA). Los defectos del gen CYP21 causan HIPERPLASIA SUPRARRENAL CONGÉNITA.

Scope note: An adrenal microsomal cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 21-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP21 gene, converts progesterones to precursors of adrenal steroid hormones (CORTICOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE). Defects in CYP21 cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia (ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL).
