3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Delta 5-->4-isomerase type 1 (HSD3B1)

http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P14060
二機能酵素ステロイド合成で重要な役割をもつ。プレグネノロンをプロゲステロンに、17-ヒドロキシプレグネノロンを17-ヒドロキシプロゲステロンへ、DHEAを4-アンドロステジオンにジヒドロテストステロンを5-アンドロスタン3,17ジオールに変換する。
3-beta-HSD is a bifunctional enzyme, that catalyzes the oxidative conversion of Delta(5)-ene-3-beta-hydroxy steroid, and the oxidative conversion of ketosteroids. The 3-beta-HSD enzymatic system plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of all classes of hormonal steroids. Efficiently catalyzes the transformation of pregnenolone to progesterone, 17-alpha-hydroxypregnenolone to 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, DHEA to 4-androstenedione, dihydrotestosterone to 5-alpha-androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol, dehydroepiandrosterone to androstenedione and 5-alpha-androstan-3 beta,17 beta-diol to 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone.

A 3-oxo-Delta(5)-steroid = a 3-oxo-Delta(4)-steroid.

Involvement in disease
Corticosterone methyloxidase 1 deficiency (CMO-1 deficiency) [MIM:203400]: Autosomal recessive disorder of aldosterone biosynthesis. There are two biochemically different forms of selective aldosterone deficiency be termed corticosterone methyloxidase (CMO) deficiency type 1 and type 2. In CMO-1 deficiency, aldosterone is undetectable in plasma, while its immediate precursor, 18-hydroxycorticosterone, is low or normal.

Pathology & Biotechi
Involvement in disease
Adrenal hyperplasia 5 (AH5) [MIM:202110]: A form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a common recessive disease due to defective synthesis of cortisol. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is characterized by androgen excess leading to ambiguous genitalia in affected females, rapid somatic growth during childhood in both sexes with premature closure of the epiphyses and short adult stature. Four clinical types: 'salt wasting' (SW, the most severe type), 'simple virilizing' (SV, less severely affected patients), with normal aldosterone biosynthesis, 'non-classic form' or late-onset (NC or LOAH)and 'cryptic' (asymptomatic).15 Publications
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
