| Function |
Participates in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Essential for the synthesis of various steroid hormones, participates in the reduction of mitochondrial cytochrome P450 for steroidogenesis. Transfers electrons from adrenodoxin reductase to CYP11A1, a cytochrome P450 that catalyzes cholesterol side-chain cleavage. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547883, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21636783}.

| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547883}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highest levels in the adrenal gland (at protein level). Also detected in kidney and testis (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547883}.
