The 17 β -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases type 7 (HSD17B7) are enzymes that convert estrone into estradiol and zymosterone into zymosterol ( enzyme activity 3 β- ketosteroid reductase ). The first reaction is a partial step in estrogen biosynthesis and the second a step in cholesterol biosynthesis . HSD17B7 is found in mammals and there are three isoforms in humans . HSD17B7 is known of eleven human hydroxysteroid 17 β -dehydrogenases .

The conversion of estrone to estradiol by HSD17B7 found in rodents and humans especially in the corpus luteum place where the other estradiol-17 β not -dehydrogenases (HSD17B1 and HSD16B12) expressed will. The ketosteroid reductase activity is indispensable for the formation of cholesterol , especially in the human placenta and in fetal development. Switching off HSD17B7 ( gene knockout ) achieved by genetic engineering leads to lethality in utero . The mouse fetuses die because they cannot produce cholesterol in the brain.

The HSD17B7 gene is located in humans on chromosome 10 gene locus p11.2. It spans about 22 kbases and contains 9 exons . HSD17B7 differs from other HSD17B enzymes through another loop that gives the molecule another name: prolactin receptor-associated protein.

Catalyzed reactions

Estrone+ NADPH / H + + NADP + Estradiol

Estrone is converted to estradiol.

Zymosterone+ NADPH / H + + NADP + Zymosterol

Zymosterone is hydrogenated to zymosterol. In a further step in cholesterol biosynthesis, methylzymosterone is reduced to methylzymosterol.
