Metabolite Identification
Common NameDeoxycorticosterone
DescriptionDeoxycorticosterone, also known as Deoxycorticosterone or deoxycorticosterone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 21-hydroxysteroids. These are steroids carrying a hydroxyl group at the 21-position of the steroid backbone. Thus, deoxycorticosterone is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. Deoxycorticosterone exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Deoxycorticosterone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Deoxycorticosterone participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Deoxycorticosterone can be converted into corticosterone through the action of the enzyme cytochrome P450 11B1. In addition, Deoxycorticosterone can be biosynthesized from 21-hydroxypregnenolone; which is catalyzed by the enzyme 3-beta-HSD 1. In cattle, deoxycorticosterone is involved in the metabolic pathway called the steroidogenesis pathway. Deoxycorticosterone is a potentially toxic compound.

Enzymes

Enzyme Details
1. Cytochrome P450 11B1, mitochondrial
General function:
Secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism
Specific function:
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the biosynthesis of adrenal corticoids. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon hydrogen bond at 11-beta position of 11-deoxycortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone/21-hydroxyprogesterone yielding cortisol or corticosterone, respectively. Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate and reducing the second into a water molecule. Two electrons are provided by NADPH via a two-protein mitochondrial transfer system comprising flavoprotein FDXR (adrenodoxin/ferredoxin reductase) and nonheme iron-sulfur protein FDX1 or FDX2 (adrenodoxin/ferredoxin).
