Background
The human aldo-keto reductases 1C1 and 1C3 (AKR1C1 and AKR1C3) have major roles in pre receptor regulation of progesterone action. They can both convert progesterone to the less potent efficiencies. AKR1C1 and AKR1C3 also act as 3-ketosteroid reductase, and as such they can convert the most potent androgen 5alpha-DHT into 3beta-andorstandiol, which is an estrogen receptor beta ligand, and into the inactive androgen 3alpha-androstnionl, respectively.
