Gene information for HSD3B2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3284
Official gene symbolHSD3B2
Full namehydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 2
Aliases,HSD3B,HSDB,SDR11E2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative conversion of delta(5)-ene-3-beta-hydroxy steroid, and the oxidative conversion of ketosteroids. It plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of all classes of hormonal steroids. This gene is predominantly expressed in the adrenals and the gonads. Mutations in this gene are associated with 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, type II, deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
