Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aromatase is an enzyme that plays a key role in the conversion of androgens (such as testosterone) to estrogens. This process is important for the development and function of the female reproductive system, but it also occurs in males to a lesser extent. Dysfunction of aromatase can lead to a range of conditions, including infertility and osteoporosis.
