Unique ID: D001141
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001141
Scope Note: An enzyme that catalyzes the desaturation (aromatization) of the ring A of C19 androgens and converts them to C18 estrogens. In this process, the 19-methyl is removed. This enzyme is membrane-bound, located in the endoplasmic reticulum of estrogen-producing cells of ovaries, placenta, testes, adipose, and brain tissues. Aromatase is encoded by the CYP19 gene, and functions in complex with NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE in the cytochrome P-450 system.
Entry Term(s): Androstenedione Aromatase; CYP 19; CYP19; CYP19 Protein; Cytochrome P-450 CYP19; Cytochrome P-450(AROM); Cytochrome P450 19; Estrogen Synthase; Estrogen Synthetase; P450AROM
