1.14.14.16

Accepted name:

steroid 21-monooxygenase

Reaction:

a C₂₁ steroid + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O₂ = a 21-hydroxy-C₂₁-steroid + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H₂O

Other name(s):

steroid 21-hydroxylase; 21-hydroxylase; P450c21; CYP21A2 (gene name)

Systematic name:

steroid,NADPH—hemoprotein reductase:oxygen oxidoreductase (21-hydroxylating)

Comments:

A P-450 heme-thiolate protein responsible for the conversion of progesterone and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone to their respective 21-hydroxylated derivatives, 11-deoxycorticosterone and 11-deoxycortisol. Involved in the biosynthesis of the hormones aldosterone and cortisol. The electron donor is EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH—hemoprotein reductase.
