Subcellular localization of 3β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isomerase in testis of Bufo arenarum H.
3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 5-ene isomerase (3βHSD/I) catalyzes an essential step in the biosynthesis of steroid hormones and is usually considered to be mainly microsomal, although there is a dual distribution of the enzyme in toad interrenals. The present study demonstrates that in the testicu...
