Record overview

LMPD IDLMP002521
Gene ID6716
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namesteroid-5-alpha-reductase, alpha polypeptide 2 (3-oxo-5 alpha-steroid delta 4-dehydrogenase alpha 2)
Gene SymbolSRD5A2
Synonyms-
Alternate names3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase 2; S5AR 2; SR type 2; 5 alpha-SR2; type II 5-alpha reductase; steroid 5-alpha-reductase 2
Chromosome2

EC Number1.3.1.22
SummaryThis gene encodes a microsomal protein expressed at high levels in androgen-sensitive tissues such as the prostate. The encoded protein is active at acidic pH and is sensitive to the 4-azasteroid inhibitor finasteride. Deficiencies in this gene can result in male pseudohermaphroditism, specifically pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias (PPSH). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
