Enzyme Information

1.3.1.3
Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q6PQJ9
(1) 5-beta-cholestan-3-one + NADP(+) = cholest-4-en-3-one + NADPH. (2) 17,21-dihydroxy-5-beta-pregnane-3,11,20-trione + NADP(+) = cortisone + NADPH.
-!- The enzyme from human efficiently catalyzes the reduction of progesterone, androstenedione, 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone to 5-beta-reduced metabolites; it can also act on aldosterone, corticosterone and cortisol, but to a lesser extent. -!- The bile acid intermediates 7-alpha,12-alpha-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3- one and 7-alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one can also act as substrates.
