ENZYME entry: EC 1.3.1.22

Accepted Name
3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase (NADP(+)).
Alternative Name(s)
3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase.
Cholestenone 5-alpha-reductase.
Reaction catalysed
A 3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid + NADP(+) <=> a 3-oxo-Delta(4)-steroid + NADPH
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of assorted 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroids into their corresponding 5-alpha form.
  • Substrates for the mammalian enzyme include testosterone, progesterone, and corticosterone.
  • Substrates for the plant enzyme are brassinosteroids such as campest- 4-en-3-one and (22-alpha)-hydroxy-campest-4-en-3-one.
  • Cf. EC 1.3.99.5.
  • Formerly EC 1.3.1.4 and EC 1.3.1.30.
