Background： This gene encodes a very important 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17beta-HSD) that converts estrone into estradiol in ovarian tissue. This enzyme is also involved in fatty acid elongation. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011],

Function：catalytic activity:Estradiol-17-beta + NAD(P)(+) = estrone + NAD(P)H.,domain:The di-lysine motif confers endoplasmic reticulum localization for type I membrane proteins.,function:Catalyzes the transformation of estrone (E1) into estradiol (E2), suggesting a central role in estrogen formation. Its strong expression in ovary and mammary gland suggest that it may constitute the major enzyme responsible for the conversion of E1 to E2 in women. Also has 3-ketoacyl-CoA reductase activity, reducing both long chain 3-ketoacyl-CoAs and long chain fatty acyl-CoAs, suggesting a role in long fatty acid elongation.,pathway:Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis.,pathway:Steroid biosynthesis; estrogen biosynthesis.,similarity:Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. 17-beta-HSD 3 subfamily.,tissue specificity:Expressed in most tissues tested. Highly expressed in the ovary

Subcellular Location：Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .

Expression：Expressed in most tissues tested. Highly expressed in the ovary and mammary. Expressed in platelets.
