Function
AK1CL_MOUSE NADP-dependent 17-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that converts 5-alpha-androstane-3,17-dione into androsterone. Has lower 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. Has broad substrate specificity and acts on various 17-alpha-hydroxysteroids, 17-ketosteroids, 3-alpha hydroxysteroids and 3-ketosteroids. Reduction of keto groups is strictly stereoselective. Reduction of 17-ketosteroids yields only 17-alpha-hydroxysteroids. Likewise, reduction of 3-ketosteroids yields only 3-alpha-hydroxysteroids.[1] [2] [3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Mouse 3(17)alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (AKR1C21) is the only aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the stereospecific reduction of 3- and 17-ketosteroids to the corresponding 3(17)alpha-hydroxysteroids. The Y224D mutation of AKR1C21 reduced the K(m) value for NADP(H) by up to 80-fold and completely reversed the 17alpha stereospecificity of the enzyme. The crystal structure of the Y224D mutant at 2.3 A resolution revealed that the mutation resulted in a change in the conformation of the flexible loop B, including the V-shaped groove, which is a unique feature of the active-site architecture of wild-type AKR1C21 and is formed by the side chains of Tyr224 and Trp227. Furthermore, mutations (Y224F and Q222N) of residues involved in forming the safety belt for binding of the coenzyme showed similar alterations in kinetic constants for 3alpha-hydroxy/3-ketosteroids and 17-hydroxy/ketosteroids compared with the wild type.
