EC 1.1.1.357 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.1.1.357

Accepted name

3α-hydroxysteroid 3-dehydrogenase

Reaction

a 3α-hydroxysteroid + NAD(P)⁺ = a 3-oxosteroid + NAD(P)H + H⁺

Other name(s)

3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, AKR1C4 (gene name), AKR1C2 (gene name), hsdA (gene name)

Systematic name

3α-hydroxysteroid:NAD(P)⁺ 3-oxidoreductase

Comment

The enzyme acts on multiple 3α-hydroxysteroids, such as androsterone and 5 α-dihydrotestosterone. The mammalian enzymes are involved in inactivation of steroid hormones, while the bacterial enzymes are involved in steroid degradation. This entry stands for enzymes whose stereo-specificity with respect to NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ is not known. [cf. EC 1.1.1.50, 3α-hydroxysteroid 3-dehydrogenase (Si-specific) and EC 1.1.1.213, 3α-hydroxysteroid 3-dehydrogenase (Re-specific)].
