HSD17B6 - hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 6 Gene
Also Known as HSE; RODH; SDR9C6
Species: Homo sapiens
About HSD17B6
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 92 orthologues and 25 paralogues. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 415.0), lung (RPKM 33.0) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene has both oxidoreductase and epimerase activities and is involved in androgen catabolism. The oxidoreductase activity can convert 3 alpha-adiol to dihydrotestosterone, while the epimerase activity can convert androsterone to epi-androsterone. Both reactions use NAD+ as the preferred cofactor. This gene is a member of the retinol dehydrogenase family. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
