Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDs) play an important role in the metabolism of steroids and xenobiotics. However, the function of HSDs in invertebrates is unclear. In this study, we cloned the hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-like 2 (HSDL2) gene in , which is 1652 bp in length, encoding 400 amino acids.
