Hsd11b1 - hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 1

Enables 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Acts upstream of or within lung development. Predicted to be located in apical part of cell; nuclear membrane; and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study cortisone reductase deficiency 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cortisone reductase deficiency; cortisone reductase deficiency 2; and obesity. Orthologous to human HSD11B1 (hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 1).
