17-beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 6

Known as: Short Chain Dehydrogenase/Reductase Family 9C, Member 6, 3-Alpha->Beta-Hydroxysteroid Epimerase, Hydroxysteroid (17-Beta) Dehydrogenase 6 
17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 6 (317 aa, ~36 kDa) is encoded by the human HSD17B6 gene. This protein is involved in androgen catabolism.
