Protein existenceEvidence at transcript level.

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.
