| Function | Can convert androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha- diol) to androsterone in vitro, suggesting that it may participate in androgen metabolism during steroidogenesis. May act by metabolizing compounds that stimulate steroid synthesis and/or by generating metabolites that inhibit it. Has no activity toward DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), or A-dione (4-androste-3,17-dione), and only a slight activity toward testosterone to A-dione (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted {ECO:0000305}. |
