Hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 1 (HSD11B1) short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily and anchors on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. It comprises a hydrophobic N terminus and a catalytic domain. The HSD11B1 gene is mapped to human chromosome location 1q32.2.

In cortisone reductase deficiency (CRD), activation of cortisone to cortisol does not occur, resulting in adrenocorticotropin-mediated androgen excess and a phenotype resembling polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS; refs. 1,2). This suggests a defect in the gene HSD11B1 encoding 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type
11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) interconverts inactive cortisone and active cortisol. Although bidirectional, in vivo it is believed to function as a reductase generating active glucocorticoid at a prereceptor level, enhancing glucocorticoid receptor activation. In this review, we discuss both
