| Name | HSD17B3 (HGNC:5212) |

| Synonyms | EDH17B3, SDR12C2 |
| Function | Catalyzes the conversion of 17-oxosteroids to 17beta- hydroxysteroids (PubMed:16216911, PubMed:26545797, PubMed:27927697, PubMed:8075637). Favors the reduction of androstenedione to testosterone (PubMed:16216911, PubMed:26545797, PubMed:27927697). Testosterone is the key androgen driving male development and function (PubMed:8075637). Uses NADPH while the two other EDH17B enzymes use NADH (PubMed:16216911, PubMed:26545797, PubMed:8075637). Androgens such as epiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, androsterone and androstanedione are accepted as substrates and reduced at C-17 (PubMed:16216911). Can reduce 11-ketoandrostenedione as well as 11beta- hydroxyandrostenedione at C-17 to the respective testosterone forms (PubMed:16216911, PubMed:27927697). |

Background
This isoform of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is expressed predominantly in the testis and catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. It preferentially uses NADP as cofactor. Deficiency can result in male pseudohermaphroditism with gynecomastia.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
