Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Catalyzes the transformation of estrone (E1) into estradiol (E2), suggesting a central role in estrogen formation. Its strong expression in ovary and mammary gland suggest that it may constitute the major enzyme responsible for the conversion of E1 to E2 in females. Also has 3-ketoacyl-CoA reductase activity, reducing both long chain 3-ketoacyl-CoAs and long chain fatty acyl-CoAs, suggesting a role in long fatty acid elongation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in most tissues tested. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12482854}.
