(Aldo-keto Reductase Family 1 Member C4 (AKR1C4))
HSD3a catalyzes the transformation of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into the less active form, 5-alpha-androstan-3alpha,17beta-diol (3-alpha-diol). Also has some 20-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity.Synonyms: 3-alpha-HSD1, 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I, Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4, CDR, CHDR, Chlordecone reductase, DD-4, DD4, Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 4, HAKRA
