Description

hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 1

Gene Summary

Enables NADP binding activity and steroid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to estradiol stimulus; regulation of pentose-phosphate shunt; and steroid metabolic process. Located in apical part of cell and nuclear membrane. Used to study obesity. Biomarker of familial hyperlipidemia; status epilepticus; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cortisone reductase deficiency (multiple); hypertension (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human HSD11B1 (hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
