Additional info: | 11(beta)-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Type 1) (11(beta)-HSD1) catalyzes the conversion of inactive cortisone to active cortisol in adipose tissue. mRNA and protein for this enzyme have been detected in a wide range of tissues including liver, kidney, testis, lung, heart, and colon. The enzyme's expression is developmentally regulated, suggesting its importance in regulation of glucocorticoid action during embryonic development. Over-expression of 11(beta)-HSD1 results in visceral obesity and metabolic syndrome including insulin-resistant diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperphagia. Cayman |
