NCIt synonyms : 3BETAHSDI; RP5-920G3.4; HSDB3A; 3BH; Hydroxy-Delta-5-Steroid Dehydrogenase, 3 Beta- and Steroid Delta-Isomerase 1 wt Allele; 3-Beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/Delta-Isomerase, Type I Gene; HSD3B; 3-Beta-HSD, Placental Type Gene; HSDB3; SDR11E1; 3BETAHSD; 3-Beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 1 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human HSD3B1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p13.1 and is approximately
8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta
5- 4-isomerase type 1 protein, is involved in both oxidative conversion of ketosteroids
and the biosynthesis of hormonal steroids.;
NCIt note : Ensembl and HGNC place this gene at 1p12.; The human HSD3B1 and HSD3B2 genes have 93.6% sequence identity, including the 5-prime
and 3-prime untranslated regions. (OMIM);
