This cytochrome P450 monooxygenase is crucial in the biosynthesis of adrenal corticosteroids. It catalyzes various reactions essential for detoxification, defense, and the formation of endogenous compounds such as steroid hormones. Specifically, it acts as a steroid 11beta, 18-, and 19-hydroxylase, with the highest regioselectivity at the 11beta position, followed by 18, and then 19. It hydroxylates 11-deoxycortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone at the 11beta position, producing cortisol and corticosterone, but it cannot produce aldosterone due to a lack of 18-oxidation activity. Mechanistically, it uses molecular oxygen and NADPH to carry out hydroxylation, with involvement in androgen metabolism.

Reconstitution | We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. |
Shelf Life | The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. |
Notes | Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. |
