Enzyme that converts androgen into estrogen.
an enzyme that regulates estrogen production in the adrenal glands.
enzyme or enzyme complex involved in the production of estrogen. This substance helps to convert testosterone (an androgen) to estradiol (an estrogen). Aromatase occurs in estrogen-producing cells in the adrenal glands, ovaries, placenta, testicles, adipose (fat) tissue, and brain.
An enzyme (actually an enzyme complex) involved in the production of estrogen that acts by catalyzing the conversion of testosterone (an androgen) to estradiol (an estrogen). Aromatase is located in estrogen-producing cells in the adrenal glands, ovaries, placenta, testicles, adipose (fat) tissue, and brain.
An enzyme that converts androgens (testosterone) into estrogens. This enzyme complex is located in estrogen-producing cells found in ovaries, placenta, testicles, fat cells, and brain tissues.
Aromatase is an enzyme of the cytochrome P450 group , whose function is to mediate the aromatization of androgens (that is, to selectively increase their aromaticity), producing estrogens. As such, it is an important factor in sexual development.
