Anti-DHRS9

This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. This protein demonstrates oxidoreductase activity toward hydroxysteroids and is able to convert 3-alpha-tetrahydroprogesterone to dihydroxyprogesterone and 3-alpha-androstanediol to dihydroxyprogesterone in the cytoplasm, and may additionally function as a transcriptional repressor in the nucleus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014], Protein function: 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that converts 3-alpha- tetrahydroprogesterone (allopregnanolone) to dihydroxyprogesterone and 3-alpha-androstanediol to dihydroxyprogesterone (PubMed:11294878, PubMed:29541409). Also plays a role in the biosynthesis of retinoic acid from retinaldehyde (PubMed:11304534, PubMed:12618084). Can utilize both NADH and NADPH.
