Introduction
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that catalyzes the biosynthesis of adrenal mineralocorticoid aldosterone (PubMed:11856349, PubMed:23322723, PubMed:1594605, PubMed:9814506). Catalyzes three sequential oxidative reactions of 11-deoxycorticosterone/21-hydroxyprogesterone, namely 11-beta hydroxylation followed with two successive oxidations at C18 to yield 18-hydroxy and then 18-aldehyde derivatives, resulting in the formation of aldosterone (PubMed:11856349, PubMed:23322723, PubMed:1594605, PubMed:9814506). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate 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:11856349, PubMed:23322723, PubMed:1594605, PubMed:9814506).
