Descriptor English: 11-beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2
Descriptor Spanish: 11-beta-Hidroxiesteroide Deshidrogenasa de Tipo 2
Descriptor 11-beta-hidroxiesteroide deshidrogenasa tipo 2
Scope note: 11-beta-hidroxiesteroide-deshidrogenasa dependiente de NAD, de alta afinidad, que actúa en un solo sentido para catalizar la deshidrogenación del CORTISOL y producir CORTISONA. Se encuentra predominantemente en tejidos donde actúan los mineralocorticoides, como RIÑÓN, COLON, GLÁNDULAS SUDORÍPARAS y PLACENTA. La ausencia de esta enzima produce una forma mortal de hipertensión infantil denominado SÍNDROME DE EXCESO APARENTE DE MINERALOCORTICOIDES.

Scope note: An high-affinity, NAD-dependent 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that acts unidirectionally to catalyze the dehydrogenation of CORTISOL to CORTISONE. It is found predominantly in mineralocorticoid target tissues such as the KIDNEY; COLON; SWEAT GLANDS; and the PLACENTA. Absence of the enzyme leads to a fatal form of childhood hypertension termed, APPARENT MINERALOCORTICOID EXCESS SYNDROME.
