Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityA 3-beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid + NAD(+) = a 3-oxo-Delta(5)-steroid + NADH.
Catalytic ActivityA 3-oxo-Delta(5)-steroid = a 3-oxo-Delta(4)- steroid.
Function3-beta-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 3-beta-HSD enzymatic system plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of all classes of hormonal steroids. Efficiently catalyzes the transformation of pregnenolone to progesterone, 17-alpha-hydroxypregnenolone to 17- alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, DHEA to 4-androstenedione, dihydrotestosterone to 5-alpha-androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol, dehydroepiandrosterone to androstenedione and 5-alpha-androstan-3 beta,17 beta-diol to 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone.
PathwayLipid metabolism; steroid biosynthesis.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAA36001.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence= ;
SimilarityBelongs to the 3-beta-HSD family.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Mitochondrion membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.
Tissue SpecificityPlacenta and skin. Predominantly expressed in mammary gland tissue.
