Abstract excerpt
Steroid 11 beta-hydroxylase is encoded by two homologous genes, CYP11B1 and CYP11B2, located on chromosome 8q21-22. CYP11B1 encodes a specific cytochrome P-450 (P-450c11) necessary for cortisol biosynthesis, with predominantly 11 beta-hydroxylase and moderate 18-hydroxylase activity, whereas CYP11B2 encodes another isozyme (P-450cmo) necessary for aldosterone biosynthesis, with 11 beta-hydroxylase, 18-hydroxylase...
