Metabolite Identification
Common NameEpitestosterone
DescriptionTestosterone 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, testosterone is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. Testosterone exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Testosterone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Testosterone participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Testosterone can be converted into 19-hydroxytestosterone; which is catalyzed by the enzyme cytochrome P450 19A1. In addition, Testosterone can be converted into androstenedione; which is catalyzed by the enzyme testosterone 17-beta-dehydrogenase 3. In cattle, testosterone is involved in the metabolic pathway called the androgen and estrogen metabolism pathway. Testosterone is a potentially toxic compound.
