HSD17B7

HSD17B7 Gene Summary

HSD17B7 encodes an enzyme that functions both as a 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.62) in the biosynthesis of sex steroids and as a 3-ketosteroid reductase (EC 1.1.1.270) in the biosynthesis of cholesterol (Marijanovic et al., 2003 [PubMed 12829805]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2010]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Rossmann-fold NAD(P)(+)-binding proteins
  • 3-keto sterol reductase
  • 3beta(or 20alpha)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
  • estradiol 17beta-dehydrogenase
  • prolactin receptor binding
  • 3-keto-steroid reductase
  • enzyme
  • short chain dehydrogenase
