Abstract excerpt
CYP11B1 (11 beta-hydroxylase) and CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) are steroidogenic enzymes which mediate the final step (11 beta-hydroxylation) in cortisol synthesis and the final three steps (11 beta-hydroxylation, 18-hydroxylation, and 18-oxidation) in aldosterone synthesis, respectively. The enzymes share 93% identity in amino acid sequence and are encoded by two structurally similar genes which are located in...
