“…Moreover, studies using cell-free systems in amago salmon (our unpublished data) and Japanese eel (20) have demonstrated that the 20β-HSD activity in ovarian follicles is mainly located in the membrane-bound fractions of mitochondria and microsomes, with lower levels detected in the cytosolic fraction, which is inconsistent with the observation of CR/20β-HSD in the cytosol of pigs (2). Therefore, it seems premature to conclude that CR/20β-HSD is responsible for DHP production in the ovarian follicles of salmonids during FOM.…”

“…A member of the SDR superfamily, the multifunctional enzyme porcine testicular carbonyl reductase (PTCR)/3␣/␤, 20␤-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20␤-HSD), catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of ketones on androgens, progestins, and prostaglandins, as well as aldehydes and ketones on a large number of xenobiotics (2,3). The high level of 20␤-HSD activity in the enzyme is demonstrated by the reduction of 20-carbonyl groups of C 21 -steroids, such as conversion of 17␣-hydroxyprogesterone to 17␣,20␤-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one, which is present in pig testes during the neonatal stage (4,5). Purified PTCR also shows vigorous 3␣-and 3␤-HSD activities with 5␣-androstan-17␤-ol-3-one (5␣-dihydrotestosterone) as a substrate (6).…”

“…Gonadotropin influences DHP production by inducing the activity of the enzyme 20βhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20β-HSD) (Nagahama 1987b) to catalyze the reduction of 20carbonyl groups to 20β-hydroxylated products (Nagahama and Yamashita 2008). An enzyme with 20β-HSD activity was first isolated from the neonatal pig testis, showing strong 17αhydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) conversion activity to produce DHP (Nakajin et al, 1987), and its cDNA sequence shows high similarity to human carbonyl reductase (Tanaka et al, 1992), which is thought to catalyze the reduction of carbonyl compounds with NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductase activity (Tanaka et al, 2002). The significance of the identity between 20β-HSD and carbonyl reductase is unclear, since enzymes with similar functions catalyze the reduction of carbonyl groups to form corresponding products (Kazeto et al, 2001).…”
