BACKGROUND. Steroid 5a-reductase is essential for the intracellular accumulation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which mediates androgen effects on target tissue. METHODS. In the present study, we describe the differential expression and cellular localization of 5a-reductase 1 and 2 isoenzymes in the
## BACKGROUND. Whereas the embryological development of the human prostate is clearly dependent on steroid 5␣-reductase (5␣-R) type 2 expression, the respective expression of the two known isoforms (types 1 and 2) of 5␣-R in the adult human prostate remains unclear. METHODS. 5␣-R isoform mRNA expr
