    Summary
    Enables long-chain-fatty-acyl-CoA reductase activity and testosterone dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity. Involved in several processes, including androgen metabolic process; estrogen metabolic process; and long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process. Located in apical cortex and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in hypodermis; intestine; and pharynx. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency and disorder of sexual development. Orthologous to several human genes including HSD17B12 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
