Abstract excerpt
Separate genes encode the human type 1 (placenta, breast tumors, other peripheral tissues) and type 2 (gonad, adrenal) isoforms of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase (3 beta-HSD1, 3 beta-HSD2). Mutagenesis of 3 beta-HSD1 produced the Y154F, H156Y and K158Q mutant enzymes in the probable Y(154)-P-H(156)-S-K(158) catalytic motif. The H(156)Y mutant of the 3 beta-HSD1 created a chimera of the 3 beta-HSD2...
