title: The sequence of porcine 80 kDa 17 beta-estradiol dehydrogenase reveals similarities to the short chain alcohol dehydrogenase family, to actin binding motifs and to sterol carrier protein 2.
abstract: The cDNA of porcine 17 beta-estradiol dehydrogenase codes for a polypeptide of 737 amino acids. The dehydrogenase activity of the 80 kDa translation product is located in its N-terminal 32 kDa fragment, which is the major form isolated from endometrial epithelium. beta-Actin co-purifies with some of the 32 kDa enzyme, which contains actin-binding motifs and is homologous to hydratase-dehydrogenase-epimerase of Candida tropicalis. The microbody-targeting signal AKI and sequences resembling sterol carrier protein 2 are present in the C-terminal part of the 80 kDa protein. The N- and C-terminal parts are connected by a sequence containing the putative protease recognition signal AAP.
