Human 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) type 1 is an enzyme that acts at the pre-receptor level. It catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of the weak estrogen estrone into the most potent estrogen 17β-estradiol, which exerts prol…
The AKR1C aldo-keto reductases (AKR1C1-AKR1C4) are enzymes that interconvert steroidal hormones between their active and inactive forms. In this manner, they can regulate the occupancy and trans-activation of the androgen, estrogen and prog…
The human aldo-keto reductases 1C1 and 1C3 (AKR1C1 and AKR1C3) are important 20-ketosteroid reductases in pre-receptor regulation of progesterone action. Both AKR1C1 and AKR1C3 convert progesterone to the less potent metabolite 20α-hydroxyp…
Human hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) AKR1C1 is a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, and it functions mainly as a 20alpha-HSD. It catalyzes the reduction of the potent progesterone to the weak 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, and…
Carcinogenesis of hormone-related cancers involves hormone-stimulated cell proliferation, which increases the number of cell divisions and the opportunity for random genetic errors. In target tissues, steroid hormones are interconverted bet…
