Also referred to as aldosterone synthase this cytochrome P450 family member is encoded by the CYP11B2 gene. It has a molecular mass of approximately 58 kDa. Its expression occurs mainly in the adrenal cortex particularly within the zona glomerulosa cells where it catalyzes the final steps in the production of aldosterone from cholesterol.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP11B2 converts 11-deoxycorticosterone to corticosterone which is then converted to aldosterone. This enzyme functions independently and is not part of any larger protein complexes. It undertakes its role in the mitochondria of adrenal gland cells where it serves as an important factor in the corticosteroid synthesis pathway. Its activity is regulated via several factors including angiotensin II and potassium ion concentration to maintain homeostatic balance within the body.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP11B2 is an integral part of the steroidogenic pathway specifically within the branch that leads to mineralocorticoid biosynthesis. This pathway involves the conversion of cholesterol to steroid hormones and is closely linked to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) which governs blood pressure and fluid balance. Besides its relationship with cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11A1) CYP11B2 interacts with other proteins like 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in facilitating steroidogenesis.\u003cbr\u003e\nAbnormalities in CYP11B2 expression or function can lead to aldosterone-related conditions such as primary aldosteronism and Addison’s disease. Primary aldosteronism results from overproduction of aldosterone causing hypertension and electrolyte imbalances while its deficiency contributes to Addison's disease. These disorders can also involve connections with proteins like CYP17A1 which is another key player in steroid biosynthesis and whose disruptions can influence CYP11B2's activity or expression amplifying disease pathology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850198765737,"sku":"ab167413","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab167413","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
