Description | hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 2(HSD11B2) Homo sapiens There are at least two isozymes of the corticosteroid 11-beta-dehydrogenase, a microsomal enzyme complex responsible for the interconversion of cortisol and cortisone. The type I isozyme has both 11-beta-dehydrogenase (cortisol to cortisone) and 11-oxoreductase (cortisone to cortisol) activities. The type II isozyme, encoded by this gene, has only 11-beta-dehydrogenase activity. In aldosterone-selective epithelial tissues such as the kidney, the type II isozyme catalyzes the glucocorticoid cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone, thus preventing illicit activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor. In tissues that do not express the mineralocorticoid receptor, such as the placenta and testis, it protects cells from the growth-inhibiting and/or pro-apoptotic effects of cortisol, particularly during embryonic development. Mutations in this gene cause the syndrome of apparent mine |

Protein Function | catalytic activity:An 11-beta-hydroxysteroid + NAD(+) = an 11-oxosteroid + NADH.,disease:Defects in HSD11B2 are the cause of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME) [MIM:218030]. AME is a potentially fatal disease characterized by severe juvenile low-renin hypertension, sodium retention, hypokalemia and low levels of aldosterone. It often leads to nephrocalcinosis.,enzyme regulation:Inhibited by glycyrrhetinic acid (derived from liquorice), carbenoloxone and 11-alpha-OH-progesterone.,function:Catalyzes the conversion of cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. Modulates intracellular glucocorticoid levels, thus protecting the nonselective mineralocorticoid receptor from occupation by glucocorticoids.,miscellaneous:Consumption of large amounts of liquorice can lead to apparent mineralocorticoid excess and hypertension.,similarity:Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.,subunit:Interacts with ligand-free cytoplasmic NR3C2.,tissue specificity:Found in placenta, kidney, pancreas, prostate, ovary, small intestine and colon., |
