Research Use Only

3alpha-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase, Microorganism (3alpha-HSD) is an enzyme encoded by the AKR1C4 gene, which can catalyze the conversion of 3-ketosteroids into 3alpha-hydroxy compounds. 3alpha-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase plays an important role in the inactivation of androgen DHT, and can convert DHT into 3alpha-androstanediol with weak androgen activity, which can be used in the research of hirsutism [1] .
