HSD17B2(17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase II), also called 17-beta-HSD II, is an enzyme with 387 amino acids, a predicted molecular weight of 42,782D, and associate with the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum. The type 2 enzyme is capable of catalyzing the interconversion of testosterone and androstenedione, as well as estradiol and estrone. HSD17B2 mRNA was detected in 18 of 42 (43 % ) adenomas but not in prolactinomas. In the human endometrium, inactivation of 17-beta-estradiol to estrone is catalyzed by HSD17B2. And it activity distinguishing between disease-free and diseased endometria. It efficiently catalyzes the oxidative metabolism of androgens and estrogens, and it is expressed in a large series of human peripheral tissues. The previous paradigm that HSD17B2 activity in the endometrium is elevated during the secretory phase is confined to diseased endometrium but not to disease-free endometrium.
