Mitochondrial3
Adrenodoxin reductase (Enzyme Nomenclature name: adrenodoxin-NADP+ reductase, EC 1.18.1.6), was first isolated from bovine adrenal cortex where it functions as the first enzyme in the mitochondrial P450 systems that catalyze essential steps in steroid hormone biosynthesis. (wikipedia.org)
Adrenodoxin functions as a mobile shuttle that transfers electrons between ADXR and mitochondrial P450s. (wikipedia.org)
The mitochondrial P450 system electron transport chain including adrenodoxin reductase and adrenodoxin has been shown to leak electrons leading to the formation of superoxide radical. (hyperlinked.wiki)

However, HPTE did not change mRNA levels of the P450scc system (P450scc, adrenodoxin reductase and adrenodoxin) as well as P450scc protein levels. (cdc.gov)
Flavoprotein1
Adrenodoxin reductase is a flavoprotein as it carries a FAD type coenzyme. (wikipedia.org)
Ferredoxin reductase2
Later, in some studies, the enzyme was also referred to as a "ferredoxin reductase", as adrenodoxin is a ferredoxin. (wikipedia.org)
The assignment of the name "ferredoxin reductase" has been criticized as a misnomer because determination of the structure of adrenodoxin reductase revealed that it is completely different from that of plant ferredoxin reductase and there is no homology between these two enzymes. (wikipedia.org)

Bovine2
Bovine adrenodoxin (Adx) and adrenodoxin reductase (AdR) are involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis in the adrenal gland mitochondria. (nature.com)
During the bovine estrous cycle, plasma levels of progesterone increase in parallel to the levels of P450scc and its electron donor adrenodoxin, indicating that progesterone secretion is a result of enhanced expression of P450scc in the corpus luteum. (hyperlinked.wiki)

Seven of the 57 human cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are mitochondrial and carry out important reactions with steroids and vitamins A and D. These seven P450s utilize an electron transport chain that includes NADPH, NADPH-adrenodoxin reductase (AdR), and adrenodoxin (Adx) instead of the diflavin NADPH-P450 reductase (POR) used by the other P450s in the endoplasmic reticulum.
