Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor and steroid dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in androgen catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within steroid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in lipid droplet. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; liver; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HSD17B11 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 11).
