Human and rodent type 1 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases are 7beta-hydroxycholesterol dehydrogenases involved in oxysterol metabolism.
- Abstract:
-
Interconversion between cortisone and the glucocorticoid receptor ligand cortisol is carried out by 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11beta-HSD)isozymes and constitutes a medically important example of pre-receptor control of steroid hormones. The enzyme 11beta-HSD type 1 (11beta-HSD1) catalyzes the conversion of cortisone to its active receptor-binding derivative cortisol, whereas 11beta-HSD type 2 performs the reverse reaction. Specific inhibitors against the type 1 enzyme lower intrace...
