  • 3alpha-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (B-specific)
  • 3 alpha Hydroxysteroid Oxidoreductase
  • 3 alpha-Hydroxysteroid Oxidoreductase
  • Dehydrogenase, 3 alpha-Hydroxysteroid
  • Oxidoreductase, 3 alpha-Hydroxysteroid

Scope note

  • A 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase which catalyzes the reversible reduction of the active androgen, DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE to 5 ALPHA-ANDROSTANE-3 ALPHA,17 BETA-DIOL. It also has activity towards other 3-alpha-hydroxysteroids and on 9-, 11- and 15- hydroxyprostaglandins. The enzyme is B-specific in reference to the orientation of reduced NAD or NADPH.

History note

  • 2004; use 3-ALPHA-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASE (B-SPECIFIC) (NM) 1979-2003
