Description
The enzyme oxidizes or reduces the hydroxy/keto group on C17 of estrogens and androgens in mammals and regulates the biological potency of these steroids. The mammalian enzyme is bifunctional and also catalyses EC 1.1.1.270, 3β-hydroxysteroid 3-dehydrogenase. The enzyme also acts on (S)-20-hydroxypregn-4-en-3-one and related compounds, oxidizing the (S)-20-group, but unlike EC 1.1.1.149, 20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, it is Si-specific with respect to NAD(P)+.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Synonyms
20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; 17β,20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; 17β-estradiol dehydrogenase; estradiol dehydrogenase; estrogen 17-oxidoreductase; 17β-HSD; HSD17B7
Reaction
17β-estradiol + NAD(P)+ = estrone + NAD(P)H + H+
