Note

  • /antag: coordinate with CYTOCHROME P-450 ENZYME INHIBITORS

Scope note

  • 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.

History note

  • 2015 (1979)
