SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,microsome

basic FUNCTION	17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, type II, NAD dependent
	catalyzing the interconversion of testosterone and androstenedione, as well as estradiol and estrone
	playing an essential role in the formation of active intracellular sex steroids
	may be involved in the biological inactivation of these sex steroids
