Biological background
Biological context: Catalyzes the stereospecific NADPH-dependent reduction of the C4-C5 double bond of bile acid intermediates and steroid hormones carrying a delta4-3-one structure to yield an A/B cis-ring junction. This cis-configuration is crucial for bile acid biosynthesis and plays important roles in steroid metabolism. Capable of reducing a broad range of delta-4-3-ketosteroids from C18 (such as, 17beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) to C27 (such as, 7alpha-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one).
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cytoplasm., tissue context: Highly expressed in liver. Expressed in testis and weakly in colon..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare AKR1D1 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of AKR1D1 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify AKR1D1-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Background: Human delta (4)-3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase (steroid 5-beta-reductase) catalyzes 5-beta-reduction of bile acid intermediates and steroid hormones carrying a delta (4)-3-one structure. This gene is mapped to 7q33. The enzyme encoded by this gene is responsible for the catalysis of the 5-beta-reduction of bile acid intermediates and steroid hormones carrying a delta (4)-3-one structure. Deficiency of this enzyme may contribute to hepatic dysfunction. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Other variants may be present, but their full-length natures have not been determined yet.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Cytoplasm.
- Tissue details: Highly expressed in liver. Expressed in testis and weakly in colon.
