1 Five known isoenzymes catalyze the 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase reaction that controls the interconversion of estrone and estradiol and of testosterone and androstenedione. Testosterone hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 7 Homo sapiens
2 Mutations in the 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 gene impair the formation of testosterone in the fetal testis and give rise to genetic males with normal male Wolffian duct structures but female external genitalia. Testosterone hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 7 Homo sapiens
3 The usual mechanism for testosterone formation in affected individuals at puberty appears to be conversion of androstenedione to testosterone in extraglandular tissues by one or more of the unaffected 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isoenzymes. Testosterone hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 7 Homo sapiens
