SRD5A2 Genetic Profile
With advances in modern molecular biology, the DNA sequence of almost any gene is available. This has naturally become the starting point for any genetic analysis. To formally introduce type 2 alpha-5-reductase, its genetic profile is presented. Although there is a another isoform of this enzyme in the human body, type 2 will be the primary focus here.
Name: Steroid-5-alpha-reductase, alpha polypeptide 2
Accesion #:NC_000002.10
Gi:89161199
Sequence size:58,587 (click to see actual sequence)
Information from GeneCard
Chromosome Information
The SRD5A2 gene is localized to chromosome 2. The cytogenetic band is 2p23.1
