MeSH definition : A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 11-beta-hydroxylation of
steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE.
This enzyme, encoded by CYP11B1 gene, is important in the synthesis of CORTICOSTERONE
and HYDROCORTISONE. Defects in CYP11B1 cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia (ADRENAL
HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL).;
