Definition
English
:
An enzyme that catalyzes the desaturation (aromatization) of the ring A of C19
androgens
and converts them to C18
estrogens
. In this process, the 19-methyl is removed. This enzyme is membrane-bound, located in the
endoplasmic reticulum
of estrogen-producing
cells
of ovaries,
placenta
, testes, adipose, and
brain
tissues
.
Aromatase
is encoded by the CYP19 gene, and functions in complex with
NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE
in the cytochrome P-450 system.
