Background
This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. This protein demonstrates oxidoreductase activity toward hydroxysteroids and is able to convert 3-alpha-tetrahydroprogesterone to dihydroxyprogesterone and 3-alpha-androstanediol to dihydroxyprogesterone in the cytoplasm, and may additionally function as a transcriptional repressor in the nucleus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014],
Function
function:3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that converts 3-alpha-tetrahydroprogesterone (allopregnanolone) to dihydroxyprogesterone and 3-alpha-androstanediol to dihydroxyprogesterone. May play a role in the biosynthesis of retinoic acid from retinaldehyde, but seems to have low activity with retinoids. Can utilize both NADH and NADPH.,similarity:Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.,subcellular location:Associated with microsomal membranes.,subunit:Homotetramer.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in trachea and epidermis. Detected at lower levels in spinal cord, bone marrow, brain, tongue, esophagus, heart, colon, testis, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and lymph node.,
