In enzymology a corticosterone 18-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.15.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactioncorticosterone + reduced adrenal ferredoxin + O2 18-hydroxycorticosterone + oxidized adrenal ferredoxin + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are corticosterone reduced adrenal ferredoxin and O2 whereas its 3 products are 18-hydroxycorticosterone oxidized adrenal ferredoxin and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
