  • 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.

  • Tissue specificity

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

  • Pathway

    Steroid biosynthesis; estrogen biosynthesis.
    Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. 17-beta-HSD 3 subfamily.

  • Domain

    The di-lysine motif confers endoplasmic reticulum localization for type I membrane proteins.

  • Cellular localization

    Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
