General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the conversion of cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. Modulates intracellular glucocorticoid levels, thus protecting the nonselective mineralocorticoid receptor from occupation by glucocorticoids. Affinity towards corticosterone is higher than cortisol or dexamethasone.
