SRD5A2

Index SRD5A2

The human gene SRD5A2 encodes the 3-oxo-5α-steroid 4-dehydrogenase 2 enzyme, also known as 5α-reductase type 2 (5αR2), one of three isozymes of 5α-reductase. [1]

Androgen backdoor pathway

The androgen backdoor pathway is responsible for the synthesis of physiologically relevant androgens.

See SRD5A2 and Androgen backdoor pathway

Cl-4AS-1

Cl-4AS-1 is a dual anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) and 5α-reductase inhibitor.

See SRD5A2 and Cl-4AS-1

Dihydrotestosterone

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, 5α-DHT, androstanolone or stanolone) is an endogenous androgen sex steroid and hormone primarily involved in the growth and repair of the prostate and the penis, as well as the production of sebum and body hair composition.

See SRD5A2 and Dihydrotestosterone

Dutasteride

Dutasteride, sold under the brand name Avodart among others, is a medication primarily used to treat the symptoms of a benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate not associated with cancer.

See SRD5A2 and Dutasteride

Feminizing hormone therapy

Feminizing hormone therapy, also known as transfeminine hormone therapy, is hormone therapy and sex reassignment therapy to change the secondary sex characteristics of transgender people from masculine or androgynous to feminine.

See SRD5A2 and Feminizing hormone therapy

Finasteride

Finasteride, sold under the brand names Proscar and Propecia among others, is a medication used to treat pattern hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men.

See SRD5A2 and Finasteride

Izonsteride

Izonsteride (developmental code name LY-320,236) is a selective inhibitor of the 5α-reductase, with dual effects on both the type I and type II isoforms of the enzyme.

MK-386

MK-386, also known as 4,7β-dimethyl-4-aza-5α-cholestan-3-one, is a synthetic, steroidal 5α-reductase inhibitor which was first reported in 1994 and was never marketed.

See SRD5A2 and MK-386

MK-434

MK-434 is a 5α-reductase inhibitor which was under development in the 1990s by Merck & Co for the treatment of a variety of androgen-dependent conditions including benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, pattern hair loss, excessive hair growth, acne, and seborrhea but was never marketed.

See SRD5A2 and MK-434

Pharmacodynamics of progesterone

The pharmacology of progesterone, a progestogen medication and naturally occurring steroid hormone, concerns its pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and various routes of administration.

SRD5A1

3-Oxo-5α-steroid 4-dehydrogenase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SRD5A1 gene.

Steroidogenic enzyme

Steroidogenic enzymes are enzymes that are involved in steroidogenesis and steroid biosynthesis.

TFM-4AS-1

TFM-4AS-1 is a dual selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) and 5α-reductase inhibitor.

See SRD5A2 and TFM-4AS-1

Turosteride

Turosteride (FCE-26,073) is a selective inhibitor of the enzyme 5α-reductase which was under investigation by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but was never marketed.

5α-Reductase 2 deficiency

5α-Reductase 2 deficiency (5αR2D) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by a mutation in SRD5A2, a gene encoding the enzyme 5α-reductase type 2 (5αR2).
