1 Thus, human brain SCHAD may function in androgen metabolism as a new kind of 3alpha-HSD by counteracting all other known 3alpha-HSDs, which would unidirectionally catalyze the reduction of DHT to the almost inactive 3alpha-adiol.

2 This study represents the first report of a 3alpha-HSD that could act to generate DHT from 3alpha-adiol and thereby maintain intracellular DHT levels. Dihydrotestosterone aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4 Homo sapiens
3 This study represents the first report of a 3alpha-HSD that could act to generate DHT from 3alpha-adiol and thereby maintain intracellular DHT levels. Dihydrotestosterone aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4 Homo sapiens
4 We propose that inhibitors of the 3alpha-HSD activity of human brain SCHAD could be useful for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and other disorders involving DHT metabolism, in combination with known inhibitors of steroid 5alpha-reductases. Dihydrotestosterone aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4 Homo sapiens
