aThe maximal specific activity Vmax and substrate affinity constant Km are indicated as average ± standard error (n = 3). Hsd4AMN displayed distinct activities in distinct co-factor environments (NADH/NAD+), which is specified in the rightmost column. The activity of Hsd4AMN was determined by the rate of NAD+/NADH formation at 340 nm (ε = 6.22 mM−1 cm−1) and 30 °C.

bAbbreviations: AD, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione; TS, testosterone, ADD, androst-1,4-dien-3,17-dione; BD, boldenone; epi-TS, 4-androstene-17α-ol-3-one; 17α-MT, 4-androstene-17α-methyl-17β-ol-3-one; 4-HBC, 22-hydroxy-23,24-bisnorchol-4-ene-3-one; 1,4-HBC, 22-hydroxy-23,24-bisnorchol-1,4-dien-3-one.
