Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable 3-beta-hydroxy-delta5-steroid dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity and steroid delta-isomerase activity. Predicted to be involved in C21-steroid hormone biosynthetic process; androgen biosynthetic process; and negative regulation of iron ion transport. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in adrenal gland; embryo; liver; testis; and testis medullary region. 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).
