HSD17B11 [ENSP00000351035]
Short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 16C member 2; Can convert androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha- diol) to androsterone in vitro, suggesting that it may participate in androgen metabolism during steroidogenesis. May act by metabolizing compounds that stimulate steroid synthesis and/or by generating metabolites that inhibit it. Has no activity toward DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), or A-dione (4-androste-3,17-dione), and only a slight activity toward testosterone to A-dione. Tumor- associated antigen in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. 17-beta-HSD 3 subfamily.
