Background： This gene encodes a microsomal protein expressed at high levels in androgen-sensitive tissues such as the prostate. The encoded protein is active at acidic pH and is sensitive to the 4-azasteroid inhibitor finasteride. Deficiencies in this gene can result in male pseudohermaphroditism, specifically pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias (PPSH). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function：catalytic activity:A 3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid + acceptor = a 3-oxo-Delta(4)-steroid + reduced acceptor.,disease:Defects in SRD5A2 are the cause of pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias (PPSH) [MIM:264600]; also known as male pseudohermaphroditism due to 5-alpha-reductase deficiency or 5-ARD deficiency. PPSH is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism in which affected males develop normal internal urogenital tracts but fail to develop external male structures. Individuals with PPSH have testicles and tend to have a vagina and labia, but with a small penis capable of ejaculation instead of a clitoris (this penis, however, appears to be a clitoris at birth). These individuals are normally raised as girls. However at puberty their testes will descend, their voice will deepen and they often will develop a male sexual identity. They develop only limited facial hair and will not experience ma
