HSD11B2 - hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 2 Gene
Also Known as AME; AME1; HSD2; HSD11K; SDR9C3
Species: Homo sapiens
About HSD11B2
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues, 25 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 155.7), colon (RPKM 97.2) and 6 other tissues.
Summary
There are at least two isozymes of the corticosteroid 11-beta-dehydrogenase, a microsomal enzyme complex responsible for the interconversion of cortisol and cortisone. The type I isozyme has both 11-beta-dehydrogenase (cortisol to cortisone) and 11-oxoreductase (cortisone to cortisol) activities. The type II isozyme, encoded by this gene, has only 11-beta-dehydrogenase activity. In aldosterone-selective epithelial tissues such as the kidney, the type II isozyme catalyzes the glucocorticoid cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone, thus preventing illicit activation of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor. In tissues that do not express the Mineralocorticoid Receptor, such as the placenta and testis, it protects cells from the growth-inhibiting and/or pro-apoptotic effects of cortisol, particularly during embryonic development. Mutations in this gene cause the syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess and hypertension. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
