Definition: A liver microsomal cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 16-alpha-hydroxylation of a broad spectrum of steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme is encoded by a number of genes from several CYP2 subfamilies.      Other names Testosterone 16 alpha Hydroxylase; Steroid 16alpha Hydroxylase; Steroid 16 alpha Hydroxylase; Progesterone 16 alpha Hydroxylase; Estrone 3 sulfate 16 alpha Hydroxylase; Estrone 16 alpha Hydroxylase; Estrogen 16 alpha Hydroxylase; Estradiol 16 alpha Hydroxylase; 16-alpha-Hydroxylase, Steroid; 16 alpha Hydroxylase; Testosterone 16alpha Hydroxylase; Testosterone 16-alpha Hydroxylase; Steroid 16alpha-Hydroxylase; Progesterone-16-alpha-Hydroxylase; Progesterone 16-alpha-Hydroxylase; Progesterone 16 alpha-Hydroxylase; Estrone-3-sulfate 16-alpha Hydroxylase; Estrone 16-alpha Hydroxylase; Estrogen 16-alpha Hydroxylase; Estradiol 16-alpha Hydroxylase
