Accepted name: | aromatase | ||||||||

Other name(s): | CYP19A1 (gene name); estrogen synthetase (incorrect) | ||||||||
Systematic name: | testosteronel,NADPH—hemoprotein reductase:oxygen oxidoreductase (17β-estradiol-forming) | ||||||||
Comments: | A cytochrome P-450. The enzyme catalyses three sequential hydroxylations of the androgens androst-4-ene-3,17-dione and testosterone, resulting in their aromatization and forming the estrogens estrone and 17β-estradiol, respectively. The direct electron donor to the enzyme is EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH—hemoprotein reductase. | ||||||||
