Crystal Structure of 11beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase-1 (11b-HSD1) in Complex with Diarylsulfone InhibitorCrystal Structure of 11beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase-1 (11b-HSD1) in Complex with Diarylsulfone Inhibitor
Structural highlights
DiseaseDHI1_HUMAN Defects in HSD11B1 are a cause of cortisone reductase deficiency (CRD) [MIM:604931. In CRD, activation of cortisone to cortisol does not occur, resulting in adrenocorticotropin-mediated androgen excess and a phenotype resembling polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). FunctionDHI1_HUMAN Catalyzes reversibly the conversion of cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. Catalyzes reversibly the conversion of 7-ketocholesterol to 7-beta-hydroxycholesterol. In intact cells, the reaction runs only in one direction, from 7-ketocholesterol to 7-beta-hydroxycholesterol (By similarity). See Also |
