    Glossary 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase

    enzyme that converts weaker sex hormones into more potent ones

    17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of steroids, including the conversion of weaker sex hormones into more potent ones. For example, it can convert androstenedione to testosterone and estrone to estradiol, which are important processes in regulating various physiological functions such as reproduction, hair growth, and overall hormonal balance.
