Cellular regulation of the metabolism of androgens in rat oral mucosa. II. Product activation of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase enzyme system.
Product activation of 17beta-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase for testosterone and androstenedione was established using the enzyme preparation from rat oral mucosa. It is suggested that this activation could be due to the conformational changes of the enzyme.
