Difference between 3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and Pulmonary surfactant

3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase vs. Pulmonary surfactant

3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Δ5-4 isomerase (3β-HSD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the biosynthesis of progesterone from pregnenolone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone from 17α-hydroxypregnenolone, and androstenedione from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in the adrenal gland. Pulmonary surfactant is a surface-active lipoprotein complex (phospholipoprotein) formed by type II alveolar cells.

Similarities between 3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and Pulmonary surfactant

3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and Pulmonary surfactant have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Infant respiratory distress syndrome, Lung, Pulmonary alveolus, Surface tension.

Infant respiratory distress syndrome

Infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS), also called neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), respiratory distress syndrome of newborn, or increasingly surfactant deficiency disorder (SDD), and previously called hyaline membrane disease (HMD), is a syndrome in premature infants caused by developmental insufficiency of pulmonary surfactant production and structural immaturity in the lungs.

Lung

The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system in humans and many other animals including a few fish and some snails.

Pulmonary alveolus

A pulmonary alveolus (plural: alveoli, from Latin alveolus, "little cavity") is a hollow cavity found in the lung parenchyma, and is the basic unit of ventilation.

Surface tension

Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible.

3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and Pulmonary surfactant Comparison

3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase has 54 relations, while Pulmonary surfactant has 51. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 3.81% = 4 / (54 + 51).
