Publication Link Summary of findings
18251165 The inhibition of activation of the beta-catenin/TCF-signaling pathway is believed to be one mechanism by which AKR1C2 siRNA exerts a gatekeeper function during hepatocarcinogenesis.
12416991 The kinetics of 3-alpha-HSD type III indicates an ordered ternary complex mechanism characterized by allopregnanolone formation, with NAD cofactor binding before the steroid substrate and dissociating after release of the steroid product.
15492289 Loss of AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 in breast cancer results in decreased progesterone catabolism, which, in combination with increased PR expression, may augment progesterone signaling by its nuclear receptors.
16478829 The regulation of AKR1C2 by antioxidant response element suggests that AKR1C2 detoxifies products of reactive oxidant injury.
15383625 metabolizes tibolone
15188492 Akr1c2 which is up-regulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma probably plays an important role in tumor development of esophagus and may be proposed as a potential molecular target treatments.
13678667 Glaucomatous optic nerve head astrocytes express a higher level of 3alpha-HSD isoform AKR1C2 and its mRNA than normal astrocytes.
16216911 Results suggest that 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17beta-HSD) type 3 might play slightly different roles in zebrafish compared with human although testosterone itself is likely to have similar functions in both organisms.
14671194 expression and activity of type 5 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and type 3 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in female subcutaneous tissue and omental adipose tissue and in preadipocytes
12810547 in prostate cells AKR1C2 acts as a 3-ketosteroid reductase to eliminate 5alpha-DHT and prevents activation of the androgen receptor.
