3-β-HSD (or 3-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Δ-5-4 isomerase) (EC 1.1.1.145) is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of progesterone from pregnenolone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone from 17-hydroxypregnenolone, and androstenedione from dehydroepiandrosterone in the adrenal gland. It is the only enzyme in the adrenal pathway of corticosteroid synthesis that is not a member of the Cytochrome P450 family.[1] In humans, there are two 3-β-HSD isozymes encoded by the HSD3B1 and HSD3B2 genes, respectively.
It is also known as delta 5-delta 4-isomerase, which catalyzes the oxidative conversion of delta 5-3 beta- hydroxysteroids to the delta 4-3-keto configuration and is, therefore, essential for the biosynthesis of all classes of hormonal steroids, namely progesterone, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens.[2] The 3-beta HSD complex is responsible for the conversion of:
- pregnenolone to progesterone
- 17-alpha-pregnenolone to 17-alpha-progesterone
- dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to androstenedione
- androstenediol to testosterone

Reaction[edit]
3-β-HSD belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, to be specific, those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. This enzyme participates in c21-steroid hormone metabolism and androgen and estrogen metabolism.
3-β-HSD catalyzes the chemical reaction:
- a 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-steroid + NAD+  a 3-oxo-Δ5-steroid + NADH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-steroid and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 3-oxo-Δ5-steroid, NADH, and H+.
Isozymes[edit]
Humans express two 3-β-HSD isozymes, HSD3B1 (type I) and HSD3B2 (type II).[3] The type I isoenzyme is expressed in placenta and peripheral tissues, whereas the type II 3β-HSD isoenzyme is expressed in the adrenal gland, ovary, and testis.
Nomenclature[edit]
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-steroid:NAD+ 3-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include:
- progesterone reductase
- Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
- 3β-hydroxy-5-ene steroid dehydrogenase
- 3β-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase/isomerase
- 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-C27-steroid dehydrogenase/isomerase
- 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-C27-steroid oxidoreductase
- 3β-hydroxy-5-ene-steroid oxidoreductase
- steroid-Δ5-3β-ol dehydrogenase
- 3β-HSDH
- 5-ene-3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
- 3β-hydroxy-5-ene-steroid dehydrogenase
Inhibitors[edit]
3-β-HSD is inhibited by trilostane.[4]

Clinical significance[edit]
A deficiency in the type II form through mutations in HSD3B2 is responsible for a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.[5] No human condition has yet been linked to a deficiency in the type I enzyme. Its importance in placental progesterone production expression suggests that such a mutation would be embryonically lethal.
