Abstract excerpt
In mammals, steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol that is metabolized by the mitochondrial CYP11A1 system leading to pregnenolone. The reduction equivalents for this reaction are provided by NADPH, via a small electron transfer chain, consisting of adrenodoxin reductase (AdR) and adrenodoxin (Adx). The reaction partners are involved in a series of transient interactions to realize the electron...
