Background : Although it is well recognized that 5α-reductases possess higher affinity for 4-androstenedione than testosterone, and the affinity of 4-androstenedione is higher for 5α-reductases than 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, it is generally believed that dihydrotestosterone is necessarily produced by the transformation of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, suggesting that the step catalyzed by 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase precedes the step catalyzed by 5α-reductase. This interpretation is in contradiction with the enzymatic kinetic law that suggests that the 5α-reduction step that catalyzes the transformation of 4-dione into 5α-androstane-3,17-dione precedes the 17keto-reduction step.

hormone molecular biology and clinical investigation

Sequential transformation of 4-androstenedione into dihydrotestosterone in prostate carcinoma (DU-145) cells indicates that 4-androstenedione and not testosterone is the substrate of 5α-reductase
