High impact information on Hsd17b6

In contrast to other 17betaHSD, 17betaHSD9 has nearly equivalent activities as a 17betaHSD (with estradiol approximately = adiol) and as a 3alphaHSD (with adiol approximately = androsterone) [1].
Although 17betaHSD9 shares 88% amino acid identity with rat 17betaHSD6, its closest homolog, the two differ in substrate specificity [1].
