17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1) catalyzes the transformation of estrone (E1) into the most potent estrogen, estradiol (E2), which stimulates cell proliferation and decreases apoptosis. 17beta-HSD1 is often strongly …

The estradiol-synthesizing enzyme 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17betaHSD1) is mainly responsible for the conversion of estrone (E1) to the potent estrogen estradiol (E2). It is a key player to control tissue levels of E2 and …
