Purification and properties of the soluble 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase of rabbit uterus.

Expression of Recombinant 3-Beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Protein in E. coli

Steroidogenesis in rabbit preimplantation embryos.

Rabbit preimplantation embryos were flushed from the reproductive tract at 24 hr (1- to 2-cell stage), 48 hr (morula), 72 hr (morula), 96 hr (blastocyst), 120 hr (blastocyst), and 144 hr (blastocyst) post coitum. At 168 hr (early postimplantation period), gestation sacs were excised, frozen, and sectioned in a cryostat. Delta5-3beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase [3(or 17)beta-hydroxysteroid:NAD(...

Purification of a 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase of human placenta and studies on its transhydrogenase function.

This paper describes methods for the extensive purification of a soluble 17@-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenasel of human placenta. This single enzyme appears to be responsible for the entire 17/3estradiol-mediated transfer of hydrogen between pyridine nucleotides in soluble extracts of this tissue. Experiments which were reported in 1958 (2, 3) showed that soluble enzyme preparations derived from hu...

Synthesis and Molecular Docking Studies of 2-arylideneindan-1,3-diones Derivatives as an Inhibitor of 17β-hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1

Due to the drawbacks of applying catalysts in the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated structure units and the importance of these materials, electrochemistry has been introduced as an efficient alternative.Therefore, herein a high-yield synthesis of 2-arylideneindan-1,3-diones is proposed. The procedure is carried out in propanol, using electrons as a green catalyst for generating propanol anion...

Quantitative determination of oestradiol-17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase: increased sensitivity by HPLC separation of the hormones permits the measurement of enzyme activity in cryostat sections.

The activity of the oestradiol-17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human endometrial and breast cancer specimens was determined by the NAD-dependent conversion of oestradiol-17 beta to oestrone. The sensitivity of the determination was improved by the separation of the hormones by HPLC. We are now able to determine oestradiol-17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase quantitatively in cryostat s...
