Determination of cDNA, gene structure and chromosomal localization of the novel human 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 7
25 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
We have identified human 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 7 (17beta-HSD 7). The novel human cDNA encodes a 37 kDa protein that shows 78 and 74% amino acid identity with rat and mouse 17beta-HSD 7, respectively. These enzymes are responsible for estradiol production in the corpus luteum during pregnancy, but are also present in placenta and several steroid target tissues (breast, testis and prostate) as...
