Summary

AKR1C1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1, HGNC:384) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10p15.1, encoding Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1 (Q04828). Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids.

This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols by utilizing NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme catalyzes the reaction of progesterone to the inactive form 20-alpha-hydroxy-progesterone. This gene shares high sequence identity with three other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14.

Function. Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids. Displays broad substrate specificity with distinct positional and stereochemistry, primarily generating 20alpha-hydroxysteroids, but also 3alpha/beta- and 17beta-hydroxysteroids. Involved in neurosteroid metabolism. Reduces 5alpha-dihydrodeoxycorticosterone (5-alpha-DHDOC) to neuroactive steroid 3alpha,5alpha-tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (3alpha,5alpha-THDOC) known to alter neural excitability via allosteric activation of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAAR) receptors. Inactivates 3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-20-one (3alpha,5alpha-THP) into less potent neurosteroid 3alpha,20alpha-dihydroxy-5alpha-pregnane. Catalyzes the reduction of progesterone to less potent progestogen (20S)-hydroxypregn-4-en-3-one likely regulating ligand availability for progesterone receptors. In androgen catabolism, may predominantly act as a phase I enzyme by introducing a hydroxyl group prior to conjugation. It can nevertheless participate in the alternative phase II pathway by directly reducing sulfate- or glucuronide-conjugated androgens. In vitro can efficiently catalyze bidirectional conversion between ketosteroids and hydroxysteroids using NADPH/NADP(+) or NADH/NAD(+) as cofactors. In vivo however, the reductase activity prevails since the major reducing cofactor NADPH inhibits NAD(+)-dependent oxidase activity.
