Abstract excerpt
Pig 3alpha/beta,20beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3alpha/beta,20beta-HSD) is 80-85% identical to human, rat, and mouse carbonyl reductases. However, pig 3alpha/beta,20beta-HSD contains an extra 12 amino acids at its COOH-terminus that these other mammalian carbonyl reductases lack. We constructed a pig 3alpha/beta,20beta-HSD mutant, G278opal, which lacks these amino acids and found that compared to wild-type...
