Background	The type 6 17-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD17B6, 17-β-HSD 6) regulates cellular hydroxysteroids by catalyzing the conversion of androsterone to epiandrosterone (1). This enzyme displays both oxidoreductase and epimerase activities, and is also known as 3(α->β)-hydroxysteroid epimerase. The interaction between HSD17B6 and hydroxysteroid compounds has an important effect on steroid activity as these compounds typically act in a stereo-specificity manner (1). Research studies show that the transcriptional activity of androgen receptor in prostate cell lines treated by androstanediol correlates with HSD17B6 protein level, which suggests an important role for enzyme in prostate cancer growth (2).
