Ketosteroid monooxygenase (, steroid-ketone monooxygenase, progesterone, NADPH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (20-hydroxylating, ester-producing), 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, NADPH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (20-hydroxylating, side-chain cleaving), androstenedione, NADPH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (17-hydroxylating, lactonizing)) is an enzyme with systematic name ketosteroid, NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (20-hydroxylating, ester-producing/20-hydroxylating, side-chain cleaving/17-hydroxylating, lactonizing). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
: ketosteroid + NADPH + H+ + O2 \rightleftharpoons steroid ester/lactone + NADP+ + H2O (general reaction) :(1) progesterone + NADPH + H+ + O2 \rightleftharpoons testosterone acetate + NADP+ + H2O :(2) androstenedione + NADPH + H+ + O2 \rightleftharpoons testololactone + NADP+ + H2O :(3) 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone + NADPH + H+ + O2 \rightleftharpoons androstenedione + acetate + NADP+ + H2O
Ketosteroid monooxygenase is a single FAD-containing enzyme that catalyses three types of monooxygenase reaction.
