Abstract

Polyclonal antibodies raised against 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isolated from human placenta were used to screen a lambda gt11 expression cDNA library from the same tissue. The protein deduced from cDNA sequences contains 372 amino acids with a calculated mol wt of 42,216. Since 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is the enzyme catalyzing the formation of all classes of hormonal steroids, the availability of the cDNA encoding this enzyme opens new possibilities for a detailed investigation of the factors regulating the expression and activity of this crucial enzyme in adrenal, gonadal as well as peripheral tissues.
