Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member C3MeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member C3;
MeSH definition : Aldo-keto reductase that functions as a bi-directional 17 BETA, 20 ALPHA-HYDROXYSTEROID
DEHYDROGENASE. It catalyzes the reduction of PROSTAGLANDIN D2 and PROSTAGLANDIN H2,
as well as the oxidation of 9alpha,11beta-PGF2 to prostaglandin D2. It can also interconvert
estrogens, ANDROGENS; and PROGESTINS between their active forms and inactive metabolites.;
