| Description | 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 14 (HSD17B14) is a member of the 17-beta-HSD family of proteins, which regulate the availability of steroids within various tissues throughout the body. 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSD17B14) are mainly involved in metabolism of steroids at the C17 position and also of other substrates, such as fatty acids, prostaglandins, and xenobiotics. HSD17B14 exists as a homotetramer that localizes to the cytoplasm and is highly expressed in the brain, placenta, liver and kidney Synonyms: 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 14, 17-beta-HSD 14, 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase DHRS10, Dehydrogenase/reductase SDR family member 10, Retinal short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase retSDR3, HSD17B14, DHRS10, SDR3, SDR47C1, retSDR3 |
