Definition
English
:
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.
