Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member C2 MeSH Descriptor Data 2025
Aldo-keto reductase that functions with 5-alpha and 5-beta-steroid reductases to convert steroid hormones into the 3-alpha or 5-alpha and 3-alpha or 5-beta-tetrahydrosteroid, including 5-ALPHA-DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE to ANDROSTANE-3,17-DIOL. It also binds to BILE ACIDS. Mutations in the AKR1C2 gene are associated with Type 8 DISORDER OF SEX DEVELOPMENT, 46,XY (SRXY8).
