abstract：:3 alpha-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 alpha HSD) is one of the main enzymes involved in the metabolism of the active androgen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). 3 alpha HSD catalyzes the reversible reduction of DHT to 5 alpha-androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol (3 alpha DIOL). The equilibrium of 3 alpha HSD reductive and oxid...
