Description
3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that converts 3 beta-hydroxysteroids to 3-ketosteroids, an essential step in the production of Delta(7)-dafachronic acid from cholesterol. Dafachronic acids bind directly to the nuclear hormone receptor (NHR) daf-12, suppressing dauer formation and inducing reproductive growth. Required for longevity in the absence of the germline.
Family
Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
