MeSH definition : A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 18-hydroxylation of steroids
in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-specific flavoprotein. This enzyme,
encoded by CYP11B2 gene, is important in the conversion of CORTICOSTERONE to 18-hydroxycorticosterone
and the subsequent conversion to ALDOSTERONE.;
