Gene information for SRD5A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6716
Official gene symbolSRD5A2
Full namesteroid-5-alpha-reductase, alpha polypeptide 2 (3-oxo-5 alpha-steroid delta 4-dehydrogenase alpha 2)
Aliases,MGC138457,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a microsomal protein expressed at high levels in androgen-sensitive tissues such as the prostate. The encoded protein is active at acidic pH and is sensitive to the 4-azasteroid inhibitor finasteride. Deficiencies in this gene can result in male pseudohermaphroditism, specifically pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias (PPSH). [provided by RefSeq]
