Facts about 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Delta 5-->4-isomerase type 1.
Additionally, catalyzes the interconversion between 3beta-hydroxy and 3-oxo- 5alpha-androstane steroids controlling the bioavalability of the active forms. Specifically converts dihydrotestosterone to its inactive form 5alpha-androstanediol, that does not bind androgen receptor/AR.
