Tissue Specificity | Expressed in placenta. |
Function | Catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of the highly active 17beta-hydroxysteroids, such as estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), to their less active forms and thus regulates the biological potency of these steroids. Oxidizes estradiol to estrone, testosterone to androstenedione, and dihydrotestosterone to 5alpha-androstan-3,17-dione. Also has 20-alpha-HSD activity. |
