Target Details

Target: AKR1C2 (Aldo-keto Reductase Family 1, Member C2 (AKR1C2))

Alternative Name: AKR1C2 (AKR1C2 Products)

Background: Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C2 (EC 1.-.-.-) (EC 1.1.1.112) (EC 1.1.1.209) (EC 1.1.1.53) (EC 1.1.1.62) (EC 1.3.1.20) (3-alpha-HSD3) (Chlordecone reductase homolog HAKRD) (Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 2) (DD-2) (DD2) (Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase/bile acid-binding protein) (DD/BABP) (Type III 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) (EC 1.1.1.357),FUNCTION: Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADH and NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids (PubMed:19218247). Most probably acts as a reductase in vivo since the oxidase activity measured in vitro is inhibited by physiological concentrations of NADPH (PubMed:14672942). Displays a broad positional specificity acting on positions 3, 17 and 20 of steroids and regulates the metabolism of hormones like estrogens and androgens (PubMed:10998348). Works in concert with the 5-alpha/5-beta-steroid reductases to convert steroid hormones into the 3-alpha/5-alpha and 3-alpha/5-beta-tetrahydrosteroids. Catalyzes the inactivation of the most potent androgen 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5-alpha-DHT) to 5-alpha-androstane-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol) (PubMed:15929998, PubMed:17034817, PubMed:17442338, PubMed:8573067). Also specifically able to produce 17beta-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-3-one/5alphaDHT (PubMed:10998348). May also reduce conjugated steroids such as 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone sulfate (PubMed:19218247). Displays affinity for bile acids (PubMed:8486699). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10998348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14672942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15929998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17034817, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17442338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19218247, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8486699, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8573067}.
