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 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
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
