Aromatase
Introduction
Aromatase is an enzyme that aids in the biosynthesis of estrogens. This enzyme helps produce this female sex hromone that helps to fuel the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The aromatase enzyme can be found in many tissues in the body such as the brain, placenta, adipose tissue, blood vessels, gonads, endometrium, skin, and bone.
