Preferred Label : Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member C2;
MeSH definition : 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 46, XY DISORDERS OF
SEX DEVELOPMENT (SRXY8).; Aldo-keto reductase that functions with 5-alpha and 5-beta-steroid reductases to convert
