Gene ID: 3293, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EDH17B3; SDR12C2

Summary

This isoform of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is expressed predominantly in the testis and catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. It preferentially uses NADP as cofactor. Deficiency can result in male pseudohermaphroditism with gynecomastia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
