Background
CYP19A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and catalyzes the last steps of estrogen biosynthesis, three successive hydroxylations of the A ring of androgens. Mutations in the gene encoding CYP19A1 can result in either increased or decreased aromatase activity, the associated phenotypes suggest that estrogen functions both as a sex steroid hormone and in growth or differentiation.Synonyms: ARO1, CYAR, CYP19, CYP19A1, CYPXIX, Cytochrome P450 19A1, Estrogen synthetase, P450AROM
