My post above mentions how much stronger 5a-DHT is compared to 5b-DHT in terms of binding (way way stronger). So 5b-DHT could just be a "by product" of the during the production of DHT which is why it is considered inactive, with weaker traits. It basically just assists in the conversion and deactivates afterwards.
I find it interesting that it would bind to the estrogen receptor at all.
