Definition
English
:
An high-affinity, NAD-dependent 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that acts unidirectionally to catalyze the dehydrogenation of CORTISOL to
CORTISONE
. It is found predominantly in mineralocorticoid target
tissues
such as the
KIDNEY
;
COLON
;
SWEAT GLANDS
; and the
PLACENTA
. Absence of the enzyme leads to a fatal form of childhood
hypertension
termed, APPARENT MINERALOCORTICOID EXCESS
SYNDROME.
