steroid 17 alpha-monooxygenase (medicine)


steroid 17 alpha-monooxygenase
<enzyme> A steroid hydroxylase system found in the microsomal membrane of the steroid-hormone producing tissues. It catalyses the 17-hydroxylation of steroids, such as progesterone or pregnenolone in the presence of NADPH and molecular oxygen. This is an important step in the biosynthesis of steroid hormones.

Chemical name: Steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (17 alpha-hydroxylating)

Registry number: EC 1.14.99.9


arthrokatadysis (medicine)


arthrokatadysis


Synonym: Otto's disease.

Origin: arthro-+ G. Katadysis, a dipping under, a setting, fr. Dyo, to make sink
