17-β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase X (HSD10) also known as 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase type-2 is a mitochondrial
enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HSD17B10 (hydroxysteroid (17β) dehydrogenase 10)
gene.[5][6][7][8][9] Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only two transcript variants has been determined.[10] Human HSD10
cDNA was cloned from the
brain (NM_004493), and the resulting protein, a
homotetramer, was first characterized as a short chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCHAD).[11] Active sites of this enzyme can accommodate different substrates; 17β-HSD10 is involved in the oxidation of
isoleucine, branched-chain
fatty acids, and
xenobiotics as well as the metabolism of
sex hormones and neuroactive
steroids.[12][13]
Function
17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 10 is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily.[14] This homotetrameric mitochondrial multifunctional enzyme catalyzes the
oxidation of neuroactive
steroids and the degradation of
isoleucine.[15] This enzyme is capable of binding to other
peptides, such as
estrogen receptor α,
amyloid-β, and
tRNAmethyltransferase 10C.
Missense mutations of the HSD17B10 gene result in 17β-HSD10 deficiency, an infantile
neurodegeneration characterized by progressive psychomotor regression and alteration of
mitochondria morphology. 17β-HSD10 exhibits only a negligible
alcohol dehydrogenase activity, and is not localized in the
endoplasmic reticulum or
plasma membrane. Its alternate name –
Aβ binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) – is a misnomer predicated on the mistaken belief that this enzyme is alcohol dehydrogenase.[13]
The gene product is a mitochondrial protein that catalyzes the
oxidation of a wide variety of
fatty acids and
steroids, and is a subunit of mitochondrial
ribonuclease P, which is involved in
tRNA maturation.[10] The
molecular weight of 17β-HSD10 that is composed of four identical subunits is 108 kDa; each subunit consists of 261
amino acid residues.[16] Although the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated
amyloid-β peptide binding protein (ERAB) was reported to be associated with the ER and to consist of 262 residues with a molecular weight of 27 kDa,[17] ERAB is actually identical to 17β-HSD10 that is localized in
mitochondria but not ER.[7]
Clinical significance
Abnormal expression, as well as
mutations of the HSD17B10 gene leads to impairment of the structure, function, and dynamics of mitochondria. This may underlie the
pathogenesis of the synaptic and neuronal deficiency exhibited in 17β-HSD10 related diseases, including 17β-HSD10 deficiency and
Alzheimer's disease (AD).[10] Missense and silent mutations in the gene are the cause of hydroxysteroid (17β) dehydrogenase X (HSD10) deficiency, formerly MHBD deficiency, and X-linked mental retardation, choreoathetosis, and abnormal behavior (MRXS10), respectively.[15][18][19] Restoration of steroid
homeostasis could be achieved by the supplementation of neuroactive steroids with a proper dosing and treatment regimen or by the adjustment of 17β-HSD10 activity to protect
neurons.[13] The discovery of this enzyme's true function has opened a new therapeutic avenue for treating AD.
