| steroid 17 alpha-monooxygenase | <enzyme> A steroid hydroxylase system found in the microsomal membrane of the steroid-hormone producing tissues. It catalyses the 17-hydroxylation of steroids, such as progesterone or pregnenolone in the presence of NADPH and molecular oxygen. This is an important step in the biosynthesis of steroid hormones. Chemical name: Steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (17 alpha-hydroxylating) Registry number: EC 1.14.99.9 (12 Dec 1998) |
| steroid 19-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Enzyme from adrenal mitochondria; forms 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone Registry number: EC 1.14.13.- Synonym: 19-hydroxysteroid hydroxylase, deoxycorticosterone 11-19-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| steroid 21-monooxygenase | <enzyme> A steroid hydroxylase system found in adrenal cortex microsomes. It catalyses the 21-hydroxylation of corticosteroids and shows a requirement for NADPH and molecular oxygen. Its deficiency is a cause of adrenogenital syndrome. Chemical name: Steroid,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (21-hydroxylating) Registry number: EC 1.14.99.10 (12 Dec 1998) |
| steroid (23R)-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Increased (23r)-hydroxylase activity in patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, an inborn error of metabolism in bile acid synthesis resulting in (23r)-hydroxylation of bile acids Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: bile acid (23r)-hydroxylase, bile alcohol (23r)-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| steroid 25-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Involved in cholesterol degradation to cholic acid Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| steroid 5a-reductase | <enzyme> An enzyme that uses NADPH to reduce certain steroids (e.g., the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone a deficiency of this enzyme is associated with a form of male pseudohermaphroditism in which genetic males have male genitals as well as female external genitalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| steroid 7 alpha-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Testosterone and androstenedione incubated with microsomes from rat testes produced 7alpha-hydroxytestosterone and 7alpha-hydroxyandrostenedione Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: testicular 7 alpha-hydroxylase, 7 alpha-hydroxylase, microsomal 7alpha-hydroxylase, andiostenedione 7 alpha-hydroxylase, sterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, cytochrome p-450iia1, cytochrome p450iia1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| steroid 9 alpha monooxygenase | <enzyme> Consists of an electron transport chain of NADH-dependent flavoprotein reductase and 2 iron-sulfur proteins; from nocardia Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: steroid 9 alpha-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
