Cofactor
History
Reactions (1) Testosterone + 3 [reduced NADPH–hemoprotein reductase] + 3 O(2) = 17-beta-estradiol + formate + 4 H(2)O + 3 [oxidized NADPH–hemoprotein reductase]. (2) Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione + 3 [reduced NADPH–hemoprotein reductase] + 3 O(2) = estrone + formate + 4 H(2)O + 3 [oxidized NADPH–hemoprotein reductase].
