3-Oxo-5α-steroid 4-dehydrogenase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SRD5A1 gene.[5] It is one of three forms of steroid 5α-reductase.

Steroid 5α-reductase (EC 1.3.99.5) catalyzes, among other reactions, the conversion of testosterone into the more potent androgen, 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The SRD5A1, SRD5A2, and SRD5A3 genes in humans all encode 5α-reductase isozymes.[6]
