Metabolite Identification
Common NameDehydroepiandrosterone
DescriptionDehydroepiandrosterone, also known as 5-androsten-3b-ol-17-one or diandron, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as androgens and derivatives. These are 3-hydroxylated C19 steroid hormones. They are known to favor the development of masculine characteristics. They also show profound effects on scalp and body hair in humans. Thus, dehydroepiandrosterone is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. Dehydroepiandrosterone exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Dehydroepiandrosterone participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Dehydroepiandrosterone can be biosynthesized from 17a-hydroxypregnenolone through its interaction with the enzyme steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase. In addition, Dehydroepiandrosterone can be converted into androstenedione through the action of the enzyme 3-beta-HSD 1. In cattle, dehydroepiandrosterone is involved in the metabolic pathway called the androgen and estrogen metabolism pathway. Dehydroepiandrosterone is a potentially toxic compound. Dehydroepiandrosterone has been found to be associated with several diseases known as rheumatoid arthritis, antley-bixler syndrome with genital anomalies and disordered steroidogenesis, adrenal hyperplasia, congenital, due to 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 deficiency, and adrenal insufficiency, congenital, with 46,xy sex reversal, partial or complete; also dehydroepiandrosterone has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

Enzymes

General function:
Secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism
Specific function:
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in corticoid and androgen biosynthesis. Catalyzes 17-alpha hydroxylation of C21 steroids, which is common for both pathways. A second oxidative step, required only for androgen synthesis, involves an acyl-carbon cleavage. The 17-alpha hydroxy intermediates, as part of adrenal glucocorticoids biosynthesis pathway, are precursors of cortisol. Hydroxylates steroid hormones, pregnenolone and progesterone to form 17-alpha hydroxy metabolites, followed by the cleavage of the C17-C20 bond to form C19 steroids, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione. Has 16-alpha hydroxylase activity. Catalyzes 16-alpha hydroxylation of 17-alpha hydroxy pregnenolone, followed by the cleavage of the C17-C20 bond to form 16-alpha-hydroxy DHEA. Also 16-alpha hydroxylates androgens, relevant for estriol synthesis. Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR; NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase).
