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
