Progesterone 5alpha-reductase

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5alpha-pregnan-3,20-dione:NADP+ 5-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include steroid 5-alpha-reductase, and Delta4-steroid 5alpha-reductase (progesterone). This enzyme participates in c21-steroid hormone metabolism.
