Vaccinia virus (strain Western Reserve) 3-beta-HSD Protein (His & Myc)

Catalyzes the oxidative conversion of Delta (5) -ene-3-beta-hydroxy steroid, and the oxidative conversion of ketosteroids. The 3-beta-HSD enzymatic system plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of all classes of hormonal steroids. During viral infection, steroid production contributes to virulence by inhibiting the host inflammatory response. Vaccinia virus (strain Western Reserve) 3-beta-HSD Protein (His & Myc) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis and C-Myc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 46.9 kDa and the accession number is P26670.
