== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AK1C2_HUMAN AK1C2_HUMAN] Defects in AKR1C2 are a cause of 46,XY sex reversal type 8 (SRXY8) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/614279 614279]. A disorder of sex development. Affected individuals have a 46,XY karyotype but present as phenotypically normal females.<ref>PMID:21802064</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AK1C2_HUMAN AK1C2_HUMAN] Works in concert with the 5-alpha/5-beta-steroid reductases to convert steroid hormones into the 3-alpha/5-alpha and 3-alpha/5-beta-tetrahydrosteroids. Catalyzes the inactivation of the most potent androgen 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5-alpha-DHT) to 5-alpha-androstane-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol). Has a high bile-binding ability.<ref>PMID:8573067</ref>
