Gene information for CYP11B2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1585
Official gene symbolCYP11B2
Full namecytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily B, polypeptide 2
Aliases,ALDOS,CPN2,CYP11B,CYP11BL,P-450C18,P450C18,P450aldo,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane. The enzyme has steroid 18-hydroxylase activity to synthesize aldosterone and 18-oxocortisol as well as steroid 11 beta-hydroxylase activity. Mutations in this gene cause corticosterone methyl oxidase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq]
