Function

Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) catalyzes the dehydrogenation of hydroxysteroids. HSD is classified according to the number of the carbon it is acting on.

  • 3-α HSD catalyzes the conversion of androsterone to 5α-androstane-3, 17-dione and 17-α estradiol to estrone. 3-α HSD (also named 17-α HSD) is a bile acid-metabolizing enzyme[1].
  • 7-α HSD is involved in the dehydrogenation of cholanate compounds and is a bile acid-inducible enzyme[2].
  • 20-α HSD is involved in the control of progesterone level in pregnancy of mice[3].
  • 11-β HSD converts 11-keto products like cortisone to cortisol[4].
  • 17-β HSD is involved in the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone[5]. See Human Keto Acyl Reductase.
  • 3-β/17-β HSD catalyzes the reversible dehydrogenation of steroid compounds at position 3 and 17[6].

NAD and NADP are cofactors of HSD.

Disease

Deficiency of 17-β HSD caused by mutations are the cause of male hermaphroditism[7]. Deficiency of 3-β HSD caused by mutations are the cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia[8]. Deficiency of 11-β HSD is associated with alcoholic and non-alcoholic chronic liver disease[9].

Structural highlights

The structure of 3-α HSD is that of an α/β barrel with the cofactor NADP binding site at the C-terminal of the barrel[10]. Water molecules shown as red spheres.
