The activity of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase delta 4-5 isomerase (3 beta-HSD) was assayed in various tissues microdissected from the freeze-dried human skin of 13 subjects. The sebaceous gland possessed the highest activity of 3 beta-HSD in the skin, while the apocrine sweat gland showed only

The 3__β__‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/__Δ__5‐__Δ__4‐isomerase (3__β__‐HSD) enzymes are essential for the biosynthesis of steroid hormones. The 3__β__‐HSD gene family has been reported to encode for different isoenzymes which function either as dehydrogenase/isomerase or as reductase. The 3__β__‐HS
## Abstract Little information is available for neurosteroidogenesis in the central nervous system (CNS) of lower vertebrates. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the enzymatic activity and localization of 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Δ^5^‐Δ^4^‐isomerase (3βHSD), a key steroidogenic enz
The in vitro transformation of pregnenolone into progesterone in Digitalis lanata tissues was shown to be catalyzed by a 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/ketosteroid isomerase (3β-HSD). Product formation was monitored by HPLC. The enzyme could be partially characterized and 3β-HSD activities were mea
Since interrenal activity of A5-3P-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (A5-3P-HSD) in tadpoles during development follows the pattern of metamorphic progress (Hsu et al., '80) and A5-3P-HSD is a key enzyme in biosynthesis of corticosteroids, hypophysectomized (HX) tadpoles of Rana catesbeiana were injected
