Relevance to Autism
Genetic association has been found between the HSD11B1 gene and both autism and Asperger syndrome (Chakrabarti et al., 2009).
Molecular Function
The encoded protein is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of the stress hormone cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. It can also catalyze the reverse reaction, the conversion of cortisone to cortisol.
