3-oxo-5-beta-steroid 4-dehydrogenase, Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member D1, Delta(4)-3-ketosteroid 5-beta-reductase, Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase, AKR1D1, SRD5B1
Product description
The enzyme encoded by this gene is responsible for the
catalysis of the 5-beta-reduction of bile acid intermediates and
steroid hormones carrying a delta(4)-3-one structure. Deficiency of
this enzyme may contribute to hepatic dysfunction. Three transcript
variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Other variants may be present, but their full-length natures have
not been determined yet.1) Steen, N.E., et al. Prog. Neuropsychopharmacol. Biol. Psychiatry (2010) In press :
