epitope corresponding to amino acids 21-320 mapping near the N-terminus of CYP21A2 of human origin
Modification Notes
The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases that catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. P450 enzymes are classified into subfamilies based on their sequence similarities. CYP21A2 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and hydroxylates steroids at the 21 position. Activity of CYP21A2 is required for the synthesis of steroid hormones, including cortisol and aldosterone. Mutations in this gene is the primary cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), an autosomal recessive disorder. Gene conversion events involving the functional CYP21A2 gene (C21B) and a related pseudogene (C21A) located near the C21B gene may account for the majority of cases of steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
