HSD3B2 is a human gene that encodes for 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta(5)-delta(4)isomerase type II or hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 2.[5] It is expressed principally in steroidogenic tissues and is essential for steroid hormone production.[6] A notable exception is the placenta, where HSD3B1 is critical for progesterone production by this tissue.
