GIFtS:
46
This gene encodes 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 hydroxylates steroids at the 21 position. Its activity is required for the synthesis of... See more...

Summaries for CYP21A2 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for CYP21A2 Gene

  • This gene encodes 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 hydroxylates steroids at the 21 position. Its activity is required for the synthesis of steroid hormones including cortisol and aldosterone. Mutations in this gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia. A related pseudogene is located near this gene; gene conversion events involving the functional gene and the pseudogene are thought to account for many cases of steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GeneCards Summary for CYP21A2 Gene

CYP21A2 (Cytochrome P450 Family 21 Subfamily A Member 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CYP21A2 include Adrenal Hyperplasia, Congenital, Due To 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency and Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due To 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency. Among its related pathways are Cytochrome P450 - arranged by substrate type and Corticotropin-releasing hormone signaling pathway. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include iron ion binding and oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for CYP21A2 Gene

  • A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that plays a major role in adrenal steroidogenesis. Catalyzes the hydroxylation at C-21 of progesterone and 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone to respectively form 11-deoxycorticosterone and 11-deoxycortisol, intermediate metabolites in the biosynthetic pathway of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids (PubMed:25855791, PubMed:10602386, PubMed:16984992, PubMed:22014889, PubMed:27721825). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR; NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:25855791).

Polymorphic Variants from UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for CYP21A2 Gene

CP21A_HUMAN-P08686
Seven non deleterious alleles are known: CYP21A2*1A, CYP21A2*1B, CYP21A2*2, CYP21A2*3, CYP21A2*4, CYP21A2*5 and CYP21A2*6. The sequence shown corresponds to allele CYP21A2*1B. Deleterious alleles are mostly generated by recombinations between CYP21A2 and the pseudogene CYP21A1P through gene conversion. This process consists of recombination events that either delete CYP21A2 or transfer deleterious mutations from CYP21A1P to CYP21A2.

  • Adrenal hyperplasia 3 (AH3) [MIM:201910]: A form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a common recessive disease due to defective synthesis of cortisol. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is characterized by androgen excess leading to ambiguous genitalia in affected females, rapid somatic growth during childhood in both sexes with premature closure of the epiphyses and short adult stature. Four clinical types: 'salt wasting' (SW, the most severe type), 'simple virilizing' (SV, less severely affected patients), with normal aldosterone biosynthesis, 'non-classic form' or late-onset (NC or LOAH) and 'cryptic' (asymptomatic). {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10051010, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10094562, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10198222, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10364682, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10391209, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10408778, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10408786, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10443693, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10496074, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10720040, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11232002, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11598371, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11600539, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11746135, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12213891, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12222711, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12788866, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12887291, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12915679, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1406699, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1406709, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14676460, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14715874, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1496017, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15110320, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15126570, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16046588, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1644925, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16984992, ECO:0000269 PubMed:18319307, ECO:0000269 PubMed:18381579, ECO:0000269 PubMed:18445671, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1864962, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1937474, ECO:0000269 PubMed:20080860, ECO:0000269 PubMed:2072928, ECO:0000269 PubMed:21169732, ECO:0000269 PubMed:22014889, ECO:0000269 PubMed:2303461, ECO:0000269 PubMed:27721825, ECO:0000269 PubMed:3038528, ECO:0000269 PubMed:3257825, ECO:0000269 PubMed:3260007, ECO:0000269 PubMed:3267225, ECO:0000269 PubMed:3497399, ECO:0000269 PubMed:3871526, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7749410, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8478006, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8485582, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8989258, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9067760, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9187661, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9497336, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9580109}.
