Dehydroepiandrosterone is a substrate for estradiol 17 beta-dehydrogenase from human placenta. 1984

G Mendoza-Hernández, and M Calcagno, and H R Sánchez-Nuncio, and J C Díaz-Zagoya

The enzyme estradiol 17 beta-dehydrogenase (17 beta-ED) [E.C.1.1.1.62] from human placenta was purified to homogeneity by the initial steps of a published procedure, followed by an affinity chromatography step in Reactive Blue 2-Sepharose, eluting with NADP. The pure enzyme is not specific for estrogenic substrates, it also catalyzes the oxidation-reduction of several androgens and progesterone (i.e. dehydroepiandrosterone, androstenedione, 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone, and 20 alpha-dihydroprogesterone). The comparison of the kinetic parameters for these substrates, shows that dehydroepiandrosterone could be a physiological ligand of the enzyme, and consequently involved in the control of its function in estrogen metabolism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS. Pregnenedione,Progesterone, (13 alpha,17 alpha)-(+-)-Isomer,Progesterone, (17 alpha)-Isomer,Progesterone, (9 beta,10 alpha)-Isomer
D003687 Dehydroepiandrosterone A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.

D004958 Estradiol The 17-beta-isomer of estradiol, an aromatized C18 steroid with hydroxyl group at 3-beta- and 17-beta-position.

D004960 Estradiol Dehydrogenases Enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of estradiol at the 17-hydroxyl group in the presence of NAD+ or NADP+ to yield estrone and NADH or NADPH. The 17-hydroxyl group can be in the alpha- or beta-configuration.
