The subcellular localization of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 4 and its interaction with actin.
The porcine 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 4 is the key enzyme for the inactivation of estradiol. Its localization in peroxisomes was proven by immunogold electron microscopy. Interactions of the 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with cytoskeletal proteins might be mandatory for a topical assignment of enzymatic activity to defined subcellular compartments.
