Description
This product is a recombinant fragment of Steroid 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2), encompassing amino acids 1-495, designed for robust structural and biochemical studies. It represents a stable, soluble unit of this key cytochrome P450 enzyme, facilitating research into adrenal steroidogenesis pathways.
Steroid 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) is a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase essential for adrenal steroidogenesis in humans. It catalyzes the C-21 hydroxylation of progesterone and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone to produce 11-deoxycorticosterone and 11-deoxycortisol, critical intermediates in the synthesis of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. The enzyme utilizes molecular oxygen and NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase for its catalytic activity. It is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and microsome membranes as a peripheral membrane protein, underscoring its role in steroid hormone biosynthesis.
