A steroid hydroxylase system found in adrenal tissues. It catalyzes the 11-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and consists of an NADPH-specific flavoprotein, a non-heme iron protein, and cytochrome P-450. Its deficiency is a cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL). EC 1.14.15.4.
