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
