General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function 17beta-hydroxysteroiddehydrogenasetype IV (HSD17B4),coding for a steroidogenic enzyme that converts estradiol (E2) into an inactive metabolite. HSD17B4 mRNA is expressed more in the song regions of males compared to females throughout development, suggesting that regulation of E2 is important for male-typical song development. 17beta-Estradiol treatments increase HSD17B4 mRNA in the auditory region of males, which is contraryto findings in the song system. Different behaviors may be guided by the same genes and hormones, but the exact nature of the gene-hormone relationships may differ according to brain region and behavior Taeniopygia guttata
