Abstract excerpt
The enzyme 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase (3betaHSD) is required for the biosynthesis of all active steroid hormones. It exists as multiple isoforms in humans and rodents, each a product of a distinct gene. Two isoforms, 3betaHSD I and II, are expressed in a tissue-specific manner in humans. 3betaHSD I is the only isoform expressed in the placenta, where it is required for the biosynthesis of...
