Gene:
hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 1
Description:
3beta-HSD is a bifunctional enzyme, that catalyzes the oxidative conversion of delta(5)-ene-3-beta-hydroxy steroid, and the oxidative conversion of ketosteroids. The 3beta-HSD enzymatic system plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of all classes of hormonal steroids.
