diagnostics | evaluation of 17beta-HSD3 enzymatic activity using androgen receptor-mediated transactivation is important for understanding and diagnosing the 46,XY disorder of sexual development caused by mutations of HSD17B3 genes which results in low testosterone production. A method is adapted that easily evaluates enzymatic activity of 17beta-HSD3 by quantifying the conversion from androstenedione to trestosterone using androgen receptor-mediated transactivation | Homo sapiens |

HEK-293 cells are transduced to express human HSD17B3. The system is also applicable to detect the conversion of 11-ketoandrostenedione to 11-ketotestosterone by HSD17B3 | Homo sapiens |

malfunction | mutations of HSD17B3 genes cause a 46,XY disorder of sexual development (46,XY DSD) as a result of low testosterone production | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the enzyme (HSD17B3) contributes to development of male sexual characteristics by converting androstenedione (A4) to testosterone | Homo sapiens |
