17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSD, HSD17B) ({{EC number|1.1.1.51}}), also 17-ketosteroid reductases (17-KSR), are a group of alcohol oxidoreductases which catalyze the reduction of 17-ketosteroids and the dehydrogenation of 17β-hydroxysteroids in steroidogenesis and steroid metabolism.{{cite journal | vauthors = Dahm K, Breuer H | title = Anreicherung einer 17β-hydroxysteroid:NAD(P)-oxydoreduktase aus der Nebenniere der Ratte | trans-title = Precipitation of a 17-Beta-Hydroxysteroid:Nad(P) Oxidoreductase from the Rat Adrenal Gland | language = German | journal = Hoppe-Seyler's Zeitschrift für Physiologische Chemie | volume = 336 | pages = 63–8 | year = 1964 | pmid = 14214322 | doi = 10.1515/bchm2.1964.336.1.63 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Lynn WS, Brown RH | title = The conversion of progesterone to androgens by testes | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 232 | issue = 2 | pages = 1015–30 | date = June 1958 | doi = 10.1016/S0021-9258(19)77419-5 | pmid = 13549484 | doi-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Marcus PI, Talalay P | title = Induction and purification of alpha- and beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 218 | issue = 2 | pages = 661–74 | date = February 1956 | doi = 10.1016/S0021-9258(18)65833-8 | pmid = 13295221 | doi-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Schultz RM, Groman EV, Engel LL | title = 3(17)beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas testosteroni.

The major reactions catalyzed by 17β-HSD (e.g., the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone) are in fact hydrogenation (reduction) rather than dehydrogenation (oxidation) reactions.

Genes

Genes coding for 17β-HSD include:

  • HSD17B1: Referred to as "estrogenic". Major subtype for activation of estrogens from weaker forms (estrone to estradiol and 16α-hydroxyestrone to estriol). Catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of estrogens. Highly selective for estrogens; 100-fold higher affinity for estranes over androstanes. However, also catalyzes the conversion of DHEA into androstenediol. Recently, has been found to inactivate DHT into 3α- and 3β-androstanediol.{{cite journal | vauthors = Aka JA, Mazumdar M, Chen CQ, Poirier D, Lin SX | title = 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 stimulates breast cancer by dihydrotestosterone inactivation in addition to estradiol production | journal = Molecular Endocrinology | volume = 24 | issue = 4 | pages = 832–45 | date = April 2010 | pmid = 20172961 | pmc = 5417535 | doi = 10.1210/me.2009-0468 }} Expressed primarily in the ovaries and placenta but also at lower levels in the breast epithelium.{{cite journal | vauthors = Hilborn E, Stål O, Jansson A | title = Estrogen and androgen-converting enzymes 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and their involvement in cancer: with a special focus on 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, 2, and breast cancer | journal = Oncotarget | volume = 8 | issue = 18 | pages = 30552–30562 | date = May 2017 | pmid = 28430630 | pmc = 5444764 | doi = 10.18632/oncotarget.15547 }} Major isoform of 17β-HSD in the granulosa cells of the ovaries.{{cite journal | vauthors = Andersson S, Moghrabi N | title = Physiology and molecular genetics of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases | journal = Steroids | volume = 62 | issue = 1 | pages = 143–7 | date = January 1997 | pmid = 9029729 | doi = 10.1016/s0039-128x(96)00173-0| s2cid = 54341481 }} Mutations and associated deficiency have not been reported in humans.{{cite book | first1 = J.

  • HSD17B3: Referred to as "androgenic". Major subtype in males for activation of androgens from weaker forms (androstenedione to testosterone and DHEA to androstenediol). Also activates estrogens from weaker forms to a lesser extent (estrone to estradiol). This is essential for testicular but not ovarian production of testosterone. Not expressed in the ovaries, where another 17β-HSD subtype, likely HSD17B5, is expressed instead. Mutations are associated with 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase III deficiency. Males with this condition have pseudohermaphroditism, while females are normal with normal androgen and estrogen levels.
  • HSD17B4: Also known as D-bifunctional protein (DBP). Involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and steroid metabolism (specifically estrone to estradiol, for instance in the uterus).{{cite journal | vauthors = Pierce SB, Walsh T, Chisholm KM, Lee MK, Thornton AM, Fiumara A, Opitz JM, Levy-Lahad E, Klevit RE, King MC | title = Mutations in the DBP-deficiency protein HSD17B4 cause ovarian dysgenesis, hearing loss, and ataxia of Perrault Syndrome | journal = American Journal of Human Genetics | volume = 87 | issue = 2 | pages = 282–8 | date = August 2010 | pmid = 20673864 | pmc = 2917704 | doi = 10.1016/j.ajhg.2010.07.007 }} Mutations are associated with DBP deficiency and Perrault syndrome (ovarian dysgenesis and deafness).
  • HSD17B5: Also known as aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3), encoded by the AKR1C3 gene in humans. Has {{abbrlink|3α-HSD|3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase}} and {{abbrlink|20α-HSD|20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase}} activity in addition to 17β-HSD activity. Expressed in the adrenal cortex and may act as the "androgenic" 17β-HSD in ovarian thecal cells. Also expressed in the prostate gland, mammary gland, and Leydig cells.
  • HSD17B6: Has {{abbrlink|3α-HSD|3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase}} activity and catalyzes conversion of the weak androgen androstanediol into the powerful androgen dihydrotestosterone in the prostate gland. Also involved into a backdoor pathway from 17α-hydroxyprogesterone to dihydrotestosterone by 3α-reduction of a metabolic intermediary, 17α-hydroxydihydroprogesterone, into another intermediary, 17α-hydroxyallopregnanolone.{{cite journal|doi=10.15347/WJM/2023.003 |doi-access=free|title=Alternative androgen pathways |year=2023 |last1=Masiutin |first1=Maxim |last2=Yadav |first2=Maneesh |journal=WikiJournal of Medicine |volume=10 |pages=X |s2cid=257943362}} May be involved in the pathophysiology of {{abbrlink|PCOS|polycystic ovary syndrome}}.
  • HSD17B7: Is involved in cholesterol metabolism but is also thought to activate estrogens (estrone to estradiol) and inactivate androgens (dihydrotestosterone to androstanediol). Expressed in the ovaries, breasts, placenta, testes, prostate gland, and liver.
  • HSD17B8: Inactivates estradiol, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone, though can also convert estrone into estradiol.

Clinical significance

Mutations in HSD17B3 are responsible for 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase III deficiency.

Inhibitors of 17β-HSD type II are of interest for the potential treatment of osteoporosis.{{cite journal | vauthors = Perspicace E, Cozzoli L, Gargano EM, Hanke N, Carotti A, Hartmann RW, Marchais-Oberwinkler S | title = Novel, potent and selective 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 inhibitors as potential therapeutics for osteoporosis with dual human and mouse activities | journal = European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry | volume = 83 | pages = 317–37 | date = August 2014 | pmid = 24974351 | doi = 10.1016/j.ejmech.2014.06.036 }}

Some inhibitors of 17β-HSD type I have been identified, for example esters of cinnamic acid and various flavones (e.g. fisetin).{{cite journal |vauthors=Brozic P, Kocbek P, Sova M, Kristl J, Martens S, Adamski J, Gobec S, Lanisnik Rizner T |date=March 2009 |title=Flavonoids and cinnamic acid derivatives as inhibitors of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 |url=https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00532074/document |journal=Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology |volume=301 |issue=1–2 |pages=229–34 |doi=10.1016/j.mce.2008.09.004 |pmid=18835421 |s2cid=26950431 |access-date=4 March 2022 |archive-date=4 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220304221754/https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00532074/document |url-status=live }}
