Target data

Function

Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADH and NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids (PubMed:19218247). Most probably acts as a reductase in vivo since the oxidase activity measured in vitro is inhibited by physiological concentrations of NADPH (PubMed:14672942). Displays a broad positional specificity acting on positions 3, 17 and 20 of steroids and regulates the metabolism of hormones like estrogens and androgens (PubMed:10998348). May also reduce conjugated steroids such as 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone sulfate (PubMed:19218247). Displays affinity for bile acids (PubMed:8486699).

Activity summary

The AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 are members of the aldo-keto reductase family. These enzymes also known as dihydrodiol dehydrogenases reduce a variety of substrates including steroids prostaglandins and xenobiotics. AKR1C1 has a molecular mass of approximately 37 kDa while AKR1C2 has a similar but slightly distinct mass. These proteins are expressed in various tissues including the liver prostate and mammary glands where they perform their enzymatic functions.

Biological function summary

The AKR1C1/AKR1C2 enzymes play significant roles in steroid hormone metabolism. They modulate the conversion of active hormones to their inactive forms and vice versa affecting the cellular concentration of these hormones. The proteins do not function as part of a larger complex but influence multiple biochemical processes through their enzymatic actions. Their roles in the regulation of sex steroids are important for maintaining normal cellular activity and tissue homeostasis.

Pathways

AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 are involved in intricate steroid hormone signaling and metabolism pathways. They engage with the androgen and estrogen receptor signaling pathways by modulating hormone availability. The interplay with enzymes like 5-alpha reductase and aromatase highlights their role in the balance of active and inactive hormone forms within these pathways. Their function can influence cellular proliferation and differentiation processes within different tissues.

Associated diseases and disorders

AKR1C1/AKR1C2 have links to hormone-related cancers such as prostate and breast cancer. These enzymes impact the local hormone levels affecting cancer progression and response to therapy. Alterations in AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 expression or function can lead to hormone imbalances influencing cancer risk and treatment outcomes. Through their modulation of steroid hormones they connect to the activity of proteins like androgen and estrogen receptors which are critical in the pathogenesis of hormone-driven cancers.
