Catalysis of the reaction: 3-oxo-5alpha-steroid + NADP+ = a 3-oxo-delta(4)-steroid + H+ + NADPH. [EC:1.3.1.22, RHEA:54384]
3-oxo-5alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity catalyzes the conversion of a 3-oxo-5alpha-steroid to a 3-oxo-4-ene-5alpha-steroid. This enzyme is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family. It utilizes NADP+ as a cofactor and is involved in the biosynthesis of steroids. Specifically, it plays a role in the synthesis of bile acids, androgens, and other steroids. The enzyme's mechanism involves the oxidation of the C4-hydrogen atom of the steroid substrate, followed by the transfer of two electrons to NADP+, which is reduced to NADPH. The reaction is stereospecific, with the hydrogen atom at the C4 position being removed from the alpha face of the steroid molecule. This activity is essential for the production of various hormones and other vital steroid compounds.'
