Introduction | Adrenal Cortex Antibodies (ACA) are autoantibodies against 21α-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) and/or 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1). These enzymes are responsible for the addition of a hydroxyl group to carbon 21 and 17 (respectively) on steroid hormones. ACA are responsible for most cases of Addison’s disease in countries where tuberculosis is uncommon; symptoms of this illness include hyperpigmentation and hypotension, and can cause an adrenal crisis if untreated. |
Target | Adrenal Cortex Antibody (ACA) |
