Other name(s): 3-oxo-Δ4-steroid 5β-reductase; 5β-reductase; androstenedione 5β-reductase; cholestenone 5β-reductase; cortisone 5β-reductase; cortisone β-reductase; cortisone Δ4-5β-reductase; steroid 5β-reductase; testosterone 5β-reductase; Δ4-3-ketosteroid 5β-reductase; Δ4-5β-reductase; Δ4-hydrogenase; 4,5β-dihydrocortisone:NADP+ Δ4-oxidoreductase; 3-oxo-5β-steroid:NADP+ Δ4-oxidoreductase; 5β-cholestan-3-one:NADP+ 4,5-oxidoreductase
Systematic name: 3-oxo-5β-steroid:NADP+ 4,5-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme from human efficiently catalyses the reduction of progesterone, androstenedione, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone to 5β-reduced metabolites; it can also act on aldosterone, corticosterone and cortisol, but to a lesser extent [8]. The bile acid intermediates 7α,12α-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one can also act as substrates [9].
