| EC |
1.1.1.239 |
| Accepted name: |
3α(17β)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NAD+) |
| Reaction: |
testosterone + NAD+ = androstenedione + NADH + H+ |
| Glossary: |
androstenedione = androst-4-ene-3,17-dione |
| Other name(s): |
3α,17β-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase; 3α(17β)-HSD; 17-ketoreductase (ambiguous); 17β-HSD (ambiguous); HSD17B6 (gene name); HSD17B8 (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
3α(or 17β)-hydroxysteroid:NAD+ oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
Also acts on other 17β-hydroxysteroids and on the 3α-hydroxy group of pregnanes and bile acids. Different from EC 1.1.1.50 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Si-specific) or EC 1.1.1.213 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Re-specific). |
