Further studies with the 2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-one class of 11-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11-HSD1) inhibitors: Reducing pregnane X receptor (PXR) activity and exploring activity in a monkey pharmacodynamic model
3ey4 is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
DHI1_HUMAN Defects in HSD11B1 are a cause of cortisone reductase deficiency (CRD) [MIM:604931. In CRD, activation of cortisone to cortisol does not occur, resulting in adrenocorticotropin-mediated androgen excess and a phenotype resembling polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Function
DHI1_HUMAN Catalyzes reversibly the conversion of cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. Catalyzes reversibly the conversion of 7-ketocholesterol to 7-beta-hydroxycholesterol. In intact cells, the reaction runs only in one direction, from 7-ketocholesterol to 7-beta-hydroxycholesterol (By similarity).
