Descriptor citocromo P-450 CYP11B2
Entry term(s) CYP11B2
aldosterona sintasa
corticosterona-18-hidroxilasa
corticosterona-18-monooxigenasa
esteroide 18-hidroxilasa
Scope note: Enzima del citocromo P450 mitocondrial que cataliza la 18-hidroxilación de esteroides en presencia de oxígeno molecular y de flavoproteína específica del NADPH. Esta enzima, codificada por el gen CYP11B2, es importante en la conversión de la CORTICOSTERONA en 18-hidroxicorticosterona y la subsiguiente conversión en ALDOSTERONA.

Scope note: A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 18-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-specific flavoprotein. This enzyme, encoded by CYP11B2 gene, is important in the conversion of CORTICOSTERONE to 18-hydroxycorticosterone and the subsequent conversion to ALDOSTERONE.
