Comments
Comment typeDescription
Biophysicochemical PropertiesKinetic parameters: KM=0.19 uM for NAD {ECO
Catalytic Activity17-beta-estradiol + NAD(P)(+) = estrone + NAD(P)H.
Catalytic ActivityAll-trans-retinol-[cellular-retinol-binding- protein] + NAD(+) = all-trans-retinal-[cellular-retinol-binding- protein] + NADH.
Catalytic ActivityTestosterone + NAD(+) = androstenedione + NADH.
FunctionNAD-dependent oxidoreductase with broad substrate specificity that shows both oxidative and reductive activity (in vitro). Has 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity towards various steroids (in vitro). Converts 5-alpha-androstan-3- alpha,17-beta-diol to androsterone and estradiol to estrone (in vitro). Has 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity towards androsterone (in vitro). Has retinol dehydrogenase activity towards all-trans-retinol (in vitro). Can convert androsterone to epi-androsterone. Androsterone is first oxidized to 5-alpha- androstane-3,17-dione and then reduced to epi-andosterone. Can act on both C-19 and C-21 3-alpha-hydroxysteroids. {ECO
