Target Details

Target: AKR1C3 (Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1, Member C3 (3-alpha Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase, Type II) (AKR1C3))

Alternative Name: AKR1C3 (AKR1C3 Products)

Background: Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (EC 1.1.1.-) (EC 1.1.1.210) (EC 1.1.1.53) (EC 1.1.1.62) (17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 5) (17-beta-HSD 5) (3-alpha-HSD type II, brain) (3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2) (3-alpha-HSD type 2) (EC 1.1.1.357) (Chlordecone reductase homolog HAKRb) (Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 3) (DD-3) (DD3) (Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase type I) (HA1753) (Prostaglandin F synthase) (PGFS) (EC 1.1.1.188) (Testosterone 17-beta-dehydrogenase 5) (EC 1.1.1.239, EC 1.1.1.64),FUNCTION: Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADH and NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids. Acts as a NAD(P)(H)-dependent 3-, 17- and 20-ketosteroid reductase on the steroid nucleus and side chain and regulates the metabolism of androgens, estrogens and progesterone (PubMed:10622721, PubMed:11165022, PubMed:7650035, PubMed:9415401, PubMed:9927279). Displays the ability to catalyze both oxidation and reduction in vitro, but most probably acts as a reductase in vivo since the oxidase activity measured in vitro is inhibited by physiological concentration of NADPH (PubMed:14672942, PubMed:11165022). Acts preferentially as a 17-ketosteroid reductase and has the highest catalytic efficiency of the AKR1C enzyme for the reduction of delta4-androstenedione to form testosterone (PubMed:20036328). Reduces prostaglandin (PG) D2 to 11beta-prostaglandin F2, progesterone to 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and estrone to 17beta-estradiol (PubMed:15047184, PubMed:20036328, PubMed:10622721, PubMed:11165022, PubMed:10998348, PubMed:19010934). Catalyzes the transformation of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into the less active form, 5-alpha-androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol) (PubMed:10998348, PubMed:14672942, PubMed:11165022, PubMed:7650035, PubMed:9415401, PubMed:10557352). Also displays retinaldehyde reductase activity toward 9-cis-retinal (PubMed:21851338). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10557352, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10622721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10998348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11165022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14672942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15047184, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19010934, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20036328, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21851338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7650035, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9415401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9927279}.
