In enzymology an estradiol 6beta-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.99.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionestradiol-17beta + AH2 + O2 6beta-hydroxyestradiol-17beta + A + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are estradiol-17beta an electron acceptor AH2 and O2 whereas its 3 products are 6beta-hydroxyestradiol-17beta the reduction product A 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.
