-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Human Aorta
3 -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 -HSD) is known to be involved in steroid production and/or metabolism and to be expressed in many tissues including adrenal cortex. Expression of this enzyme has also been elucidated in human cardiovascular system but its details remain largely unknown. Therefore, in this study, we examined the status of 3 -HSD in postmortem human aorta utilizing RT-PCR and im...
متن کاملImmunoelectron microscopic localization of 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and type 5 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the human prostate and mammary gland.
The subcellular distribution of steroidogenic enzymes has so far been studied mostly in classical endocrine glands and in the placenta. In the peripheral intracrine organs which synthesize sex steroids there is no indication about the organelles which contain the enzymes involved in steroid biosynthesis. We have thus investigated the subcellular localization of two enzymes involved in the produ...
متن کاملEffects of genistein and equol on human and rat testicular 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 activities.
The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of genistein and equol on 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD) and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 (17beta-HSD3) in human and rat testis microsomes. These enzymes (3beta-HSD and 17beta-HSD3), along with two others (cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme and cytochrome P450 17alpha-hydroxylase/17-20 lyase), cat...
متن کاملHuman 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency associated with normal spermatic numeration despite a severe enzyme deficit
Human 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (3b-HSD) is a very rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia resulting from HSD3B2 gene mutations. The estimated prevalence is less than 1/1,000,000 at birth. It leads to steroidogenesis impairment in both adrenals and gonads. Few data are available concerning adult testicular function in such patients. We had the opportunity to study gonad...
متن کاملThe engineered, cytosolic form of human type I 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase: purification, characterization and crystallization.
Human type I 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase (3beta-HSD/isomerase) is an integral membrane protein of human placental trophoblast and of insect Sf9 cells transfected with recombinant baculovirus containing the cDNA encoding the enzyme. Purified native or wild-type enzyme remains in solution only in the presence of detergent that may prevent crystallization. The membrane-spanning do...
