<unk> -OH CAH is autosomal recessive. The enzyme which mediates<unk><unk>  activity is now known as P450c11β since it is one of the cytochrome P450 oxidase enzymes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane of cells of the adrenal cortex. It is coded by a gene at 8q21-22. Like the other forms of CAH, a number of different defective alleles for the gene have been identified, producing varying degrees of impaired<unk><unk>  activity. Also like the other forms of CAH,<unk> -OH CAH is inherited as an autosomal recessive disease.<unk><unk>  mediates the final step of the glucocorticoid pathway, producing cortisol from 11-deoxycortisol. It also catalyzes the conversion of 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) to corticosterone in the mineralocorticoid pathway.
