Crystal structure of human 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 5 (AKR1C3) in complex with NADP+ and 3'-[(4-nitronaphthalen-1-yl)amino]benzoic acidCrystal structure of human 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 5 (AKR1C3) in complex with NADP+ and 3'-[(4-nitronaphthalen-1-yl)amino]benzoic acid
Structural highlights
FunctionAK1C3_HUMAN Catalyzes the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols. Catalyzes the reduction of prostaglandin (PG) D2, PGH2 and phenanthrenequinone (PQ) and the oxidation of 9-alpha,11-beta-PGF2 to PGD2. Functions as a bi-directional 3-alpha-, 17-beta- and 20-alpha HSD. Can interconvert active androgens, estrogens and progestins with their cognate inactive metabolites. Preferentially transforms androstenedione (4-dione) to testosterone. See Also |
