Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The AKR1C3 protein also known as aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 functions as an enzyme and part of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily. AKR1C3 reduces ketosteroids and prostaglandins participating in steroid hormone metabolism. It has a molecular mass of about 37 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues such as the liver ovaries and adrenal glands.
Biological function summary

The enzyme engages in important roles in androgen estrogen and prostaglandin metabolism. AKR1C3 works in steroid biosynthesis by reducing 17-ketosteroids to their hydroxysteroid forms. It participates in the regulation of sex steroid hormones and contributes to prostaglandin metabolism though it does not function as part of a complex. Its activity can affect the balance of hormones and local cellular processes impacting a variety of biological activities.

Pathways

AKR1C3 plays significant roles in metabolic and signaling pathways including the steroid hormone biosynthesis and prostaglandin receptor pathways. It interacts with other enzymes like AKR1C2 which also works in steroid processing adding to the regulation of hormone levels and activities. These pathways enable the enzyme to alter cellular responses and influence receptor signaling.

AKR1C3 has associations with hormone-related cancers such as prostate and breast cancer. Its overexpression or misregulation could drive tumor progression by altering hormone levels that fuel cancer growth. It connects with other proteins like CYP19A1 (aromatase) involved in estrogen synthesis indicating a contribution to estrogen-sensitive cancer development. Overall AKR1C3's role in metabolic dysfunctions and hormone-related disorders emphasizes its importance as a biological target.

Target data

Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADH and NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids. Acts as a NAD(P)(H)-dependent 3-, 17- and 20-ketosteroid reductase on the steroid nucleus and side chain and regulates the metabolism of androgens, estrogens and progesterone (PubMed : 10622721, PubMed : 11165022, PubMed : 7650035, PubMed : 9415401, PubMed : 9927279). Displays the ability to catalyze both oxidation and reduction in vitro, but most probably acts as a reductase in vivo since the oxidase activity measured in vitro is inhibited by physiological concentration of NADPH (PubMed : 11165022, PubMed : 14672942). Acts preferentially as a 17-ketosteroid reductase and has the highest catalytic efficiency of the AKR1C enzyme for the reduction of delta4-androstenedione to form testosterone (PubMed : 20036328). Reduces prostaglandin (PG) D2 to 11beta-prostaglandin F2, progesterone to 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and estrone to 17beta-estradiol (PubMed : 10622721, PubMed : 10998348, PubMed : 11165022, PubMed : 15047184, PubMed : 19010934, PubMed : 20036328). Catalyzes the transformation of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into the less active form, 5-alpha-androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol) (PubMed : 10557352, PubMed : 10998348, PubMed : 11165022, PubMed : 14672942, PubMed : 7650035, PubMed : 9415401). Also displays retinaldehyde reductase activity toward 9-cis-retinal (PubMed : 21851338).
