    A cDNA clone encoding delta 4-3-ketosteroid 5 beta-reductase was isolated from rat liver cDNA libraries using antibodies specific for the enzyme and oligonucleotides as probes. The cDNA contained 981-base pair open reading frame encoding 327 amino acid residues (Mr 37,376) and an unusually long 3'-untranslated region rich in AT sequence in the total length of 3189 base pairs. The predicted amino acid sequence contains the sequences similar to the putative NADPH- and steroid-binding regions.
