Free-Wilson and Structural Approaches to Co-optimising Human and Rodent Isoform Potency for 11b-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 11b-HSD1 Inhibitors
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23153367
Disease
[DHI1_HUMAN] Defects in HSD11B1 are a cause of cortisone reductase deficiency (CRD) [MIM:604931]. In CRD, activation of cortisone to cortisol does not occur, resulting in adrenocorticotropin-mediated androgen excess and a phenotype resembling polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Function
[DHI1_HUMAN] Catalyzes reversibly the conversion of cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. Catalyzes reversibly the conversion of 7-ketocholesterol to 7-beta-hydroxycholesterol. In intact cells, the reaction runs only in one direction, from 7-ketocholesterol to 7-beta-hydroxycholesterol (By similarity).
