Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
With reduced iron-sulfur protein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Sorangium cellulosum, is a class I cytochrome P-450, and uses ferredoxin as its electron donor [1]. It was shown to act on several C-19 steroid substrates, including testosterone, androstenedione, testosterone-acetate and 11-oxoandrostenedione [2].
