16-Dehydrogenase in human placenta.
Human placenta subfractions were incubated with radioactive oestriol and 16-oxo-oestradiol.  16-oxo-oestradiol was identified from the oestriol incubation.  Oestriol and 16-epi-oestriol were characterized from the incubation while 16-epi-oestriol were characterized from the incubation with 16-oxo-oestradiol.  The 16alpha-dehydrogenase has been located in the soluble fraction (105 000 g supernatant) of the human placenta.
