Aromatase also called estrogen synthetase or estrogen synthase is an enzyme responsible for a key step in the biosynthesis of estrogens. It is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily (EC 1.14.14.1) which are monooxygenases that catalyze many reactions involved in steroidogenesis. In particular aromatase is responsible for the aromatization of androgens into estrogens.
