Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables 3-beta-hydroxy-Delta5-steroid dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity and steroid Delta-isomerase activity. Involved in mineralocorticoid biosynthetic process. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension and hypospadias. Orthologous to human HSD3B1 (hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 1) and HSD3B2 (hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 2).
