Basic Info

Synonyms
17-beta-HSD 3, 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3, EDH17B3
+ [7]
Introduction
Catalyzes the conversion of 17-oxosteroids to 17beta-hydroxysteroids (PubMed:8075637, PubMed:16216911, PubMed:27927697, PubMed:26545797). Favors the reduction of androstenedione to testosterone (PubMed:16216911, PubMed:27927697, PubMed:26545797). Testosterone is the key androgen driving male development and function (PubMed:8075637). Uses NADPH while the two other EDH17B enzymes use NADH (PubMed:26545797, PubMed:8075637, PubMed:16216911). Androgens such as epiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, androsterone and androstanedione are accepted as substrates and reduced at C-17 (PubMed:16216911). Can reduce 11-ketoandrostenedione as well as 11beta-hydroxyandrostenedione at C-17 to the respective testosterone forms (PubMed:16216911, PubMed:27927697).
