Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of various endogenous substrates, including fatty acids, steroid hormones and vitamins. Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH–hemoprotein reductase). Exhibits catalytic activity for the formation of hydroxyestrogens from 17beta-estradiol (E2), namely 2- and 4-hydroxy E2.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Microsome membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Mitochondrion
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; arachidonate metabolism
