SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
testosterone monooxygenase (17beta-estradiol-forming)
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 17beta-estradiol, respectively. The direct electron donor to the enzyme is EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH---hemoprotein reductase.
