In enzymology a steroid 11beta-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.15.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiona steroid + reduced adrenal ferredoxin + O2 an 11beta-hydroxysteroid + oxidized adrenal ferredoxin + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are steroid reduced adrenal ferredoxin and O2 whereas its 3 products are 11beta-hydroxysteroid 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.
