A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 1.3.1.3

Accepted Name
Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase.
Alternative Name(s)
3-oxo-Delta(4)-steroid 5-beta-reductase.
5-beta-reductase.
Androstenedione 5-beta-reductase.
Cholestenone 5-beta-reductase.
Cortisone 5-beta-reductase.
Cortisone beta-reductase.
Cortisone Delta(4)-5-beta-reductase.
Delta(4)-3-ketosteroid 5-beta-reductase.
Delta(4)-5-beta-reductase.
Delta(4)-hydrogenase.
Steroid 5-beta-reductase.
Testosterone 5-beta-reductase.
Reaction catalysed
  • 5-beta-cholestan-3-one + NADP(+) <=> cholest-4-en-3-one + NADPH
  • 17,21-dihydroxy-5-beta-pregnane-3,11,20-trione + NADP(+) <=> cortisone + NADPH
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme from human efficiently catalyzes the reduction of progesterone, androstenedione, 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone to 5-beta-reduced metabolites; it can also act on aldosterone, corticosterone and cortisol, but to a lesser extent.
  • The bile acid intermediates 7-alpha,12-alpha-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3- one and 7-alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one can also act as substrates.
