Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the biosynthesis of adrenal corticoids (PubMed:12530636, PubMed:1518866, PubMed:1775135, PubMed:18215163, PubMed:23322723). Catalyzes a variety of reactions that are essential for many species, including detoxification, defense, and the formation of endogenous chemicals like steroid hormones. Steroid 11beta, 18- and 19-hydroxylase with preferred regioselectivity at 11beta, then 18, and lastly 19 (By similarity). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of 11-deoxycortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone (21-hydroxyprogesterone) at 11beta position, yielding cortisol or corticosterone, respectively, but cannot produce aldosterone (PubMed:12530636, PubMed:1518866, PubMed:1775135, PubMed:18215163, PubMed:23322723). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate for hydroxylation and reducing the second into a water molecule. Two electrons are provided by NADPH via a two-protein mitochondrial transfer system comprising flavoprotein FDXR (adrenodoxin/ferredoxin reductase) and nonheme iron-sulfur protein FDX1 or FDX2 (adrenodoxin/ferredoxin) (PubMed:18215163). Due to its lack of 18-oxidation activity, it is incapable of generating aldosterone (PubMed:23322723). Could also be involved in the androgen metabolic pathway (Probable)
