Hsd17b1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity; estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity; and testosterone dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity. Involved in estrogen biosynthetic process and testosterone biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adipose tissue development; lysosome organization; and skeletal muscle tissue development. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; reproductive system; spleen; submandibular gland; and trachea. Orthologous to human HSD17B1 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 1).

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 in mouse Hsd17b1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
