3ALPHA-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASE

Powder

3α-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas testosterone has been used:

• in the preparation of composite electrode platform to for the determination of androsterone
• in potassium phosphate buffer for the bioluminescent assay of bile acids in serum
• for total bile salts assay using an enzymatic method

3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) may help to modulate the occupancy of the androgen receptor (AR) in androgen target tissues. It may also act in hindering androgen action.
