17-alpha,20-alpha-dihydroxypregn-4-en-3-one dehydrogenase activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: NAD(P)+ + 17-alpha,20-alpha-dihydroxypregn-4-en-3-one = NAD(P)H + H+ + 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone. [EC:1.1.1.149, MetaCyc:1.1.1.149-RXN]
17-alpha,20-alpha-dihydroxypregn-4-en-3-one dehydrogenase activity catalyzes the oxidation of the 20-hydroxy group of 17-alpha,20-alpha-dihydroxypregn-4-en-3-one, also known as progesterone, to a ketone. This reaction is a crucial step in the biosynthesis of steroid hormones, particularly in the synthesis of cortisol and aldosterone. The enzyme utilizes NAD+ as a cofactor and transfers electrons from the substrate to NAD+ during the oxidation process. It plays a significant role in the regulation of steroid hormone levels and is involved in various physiological processes, including stress response, electrolyte balance, and blood pressure regulation.'
