Descriptor adrenodoxina
Scope note: Proteína con hierro y azufre que hace las veces de transportador de electrones en las reacciones enzimáticas de hidroxilación de esteroides en las mitocondrias de la corteza suprarrenal. El sistema de transporte de electrones, que cataliza esta reacción, consta de adrenodoxina reductasa, NADP, adrenodoxina y citocromo P-450.
