Definition:

EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.14 Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen > 1.14.14 With reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor > 1.14.14.14 aromatase
Aromatase (CYP19A1) is a cytochrome P-450 catalyzing three sequential hydroxylations of androstenedione and testosterone, leading to aromatization to estrone and 17β-estradiol; electrons come from NADPH-hemoprotein reductase (EC 1.6.2.4).
