Kinetic properties of microsomal 3β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-isomerase from the testis of Bufo arenarum H
3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 5-ene isomerase (3βHSD/I) activity is necessary for the biosynthesis of hormonally active steroids. A dual distribution of the enzyme was described in toad testes. The present study demonstrates that in testicular tissue of Bufo arenarum H., microsomal 3βHSD/I has mor...

3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 5-ene isomerase (3βHSD/I) activity is necessary for the biosynthesis of hormonally active steroids. A dual distribution of the enzyme was described in toad testes.
