Protein attributes

Sequence length	492 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Specifically catalyzes the 21-hydroxylation of steroids. Required for the adrenal synthesis of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids.
Catalytic activity	A steroid + AH2 + O2 = a 21-hydroxysteroid + A + H2O.
Cofactor	Heme group By similarity.
Subcellular location	Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
Domain	The leucine-rich hydrophobic amino acid N-terminal region probably helps to anchor the protein to the microsomal membrane.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.
