UniProt Comments
Involved in a reduction step in the biosynthesis of the plant steroid, brassinolide; acts at the second step in brassinolide biosynthesis in the 5alpha-reduction of (24R)- 24-methylcholest-4-en-3-one, which is further modified to form campestanol. Can use progesterone, testosterone, androstenedione and campestenone as substrate.
