Progesterone monooxygenase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a progesterone monooxygenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

progesterone + AH₂ + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ testosterone acetate + A + H₂O

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are progesterone, AH₂, and O₂, whereas its 3 products are testosterone acetate, A, and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O₂ as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O miscellaneous.Template:Clarify The systematic name of this enzyme class is Template:Chem name. This enzyme is also called progesterone hydroxylase.
