13 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Human aldo-keto reductases 1C1-1C4 (AKR1C1-AKR1C4) function in vivo as 3-keto-, 17-keto-, and 20-ketosteroid reductases and regulate the activity of androgens, estrogens, and progesterone and the occupancy and transactivation of their corresponding receptors. Aberrant expression and action of AKR1C enzymes can lead to different pathophysiological conditions. AKR1C enzymes thus represent important targets for...
