    enzyme crucial for converting steroid precursors into active hormones

    3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of all classes of hormonal steroids, including androgens, estrogens, and glucocorticoids. It catalyzes the conversion of Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroids to Δ4-3-ketosteroids, a key step in the production of hormones that regulate various physiological processes, including hair growth and skin health.
