Biochem/physiol Actions

Estradiol (known as alpha Estradiol or 17 alpha Estradiol) is a biologically active estrogen in human breast cancer cells in tissue culture.17-estradiol and its selective receptor, ER-X, are not part of a classical hormone/receptor endocrine system but of a system with important autocrine/paracrine functions in the developing and adult brain. 17-Estradiol may have enormous implications for hormone replacement strategies at the menopause and in the treatment of such neurodegenerative disorders as Alzheimer′s disease and ischemic stroke.

17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 7 (17beta-HSD7) catalyzes the reduction of estrone (E(1)) into estradiol (E(2)) and of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into 5alpha-androstane-3beta,17beta-diol (3beta-diol), therefore modulating the level of mitogenic estrogens and androgens in humans.
