Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including NAD binding activity; steroid dehydrogenase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor; and steroid delta-isomerase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including C21-steroid hormone metabolic process; hippocampus development; and response to corticosterone. Predicted to act upstream of or within steroid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine gland; genitourinary system; liver; nervous system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension and hypospadias. Orthologous to human HSD3B1 (hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 1) and HSD3B2 (hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 2).
