| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables 3-beta-hydroxysteroid 3-dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity; 5-alpha-androstane-3-beta,17-beta-diol dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity; and estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity. Involved in brain development; embryonic organ development; and steroid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cholesterol biosynthetic process; embryonic skeletal system development; and nervous system development. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; nervous system; reproductive system; sensory organ; and trophectoderm. Orthologous to human HSD17B7 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit embryonic lethality, abnormal brain development, abnormal branchial arches, pericardial effusion, and abnormal cardiovascular development.
