11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD 1) is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the reversible interconversion of receptor-active 11-hydroxy glucocorticoids (cortisol) to their receptor-inactive 11-oxo metabolites (cortisone). However, the physiological role of 11β-HSD 1 as prereceptor control device in regulating access of glucocorticoid hormones to the glucocorticoid receptor remains obscure in light of its low substrate affinities, which is in contrast to low glucocorticoid plasma levels and low Kd values of the receptors to cortisol. To solve this enigma, we performed detailed kinetic analyses with a homogeneously purified 11β-HSD 1 from human liver. The membrane-bound enzyme was successfully obtained in an active state by a purification procedure that took advantage of a gentle solubilization method as well as providing a favorable detergent surrounding during the various chromatographic steps. The identity of purified 11β-HSD 1 was proven by determination of enzymatic activity, N-terminal ...
