Structural highlights
1fjh is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Comamonas testosteroni. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
DIDH_COMTE Catalyzes the reversible interconversion of hydroxy and oxo groups at position 3 of the steroid nucleus. Along with the 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 3-oxo-reductase activities towards a variety of cis or trans fused A/B ring steroids, it also reduces several xenobiotic carbonyl compounds, including a metyrapone-based class of insecticides, to the respective alcohol metabolites. No detectable activity on testosterone, progesterone or 3-oxo-desogestrel.
