Metabolite Identification
Common NameCortisone
DescriptionCortisonee, also known as cortisone or cortisone, 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, cortisonee is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. Cortisonee exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Cortisonee participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Cortisonee can be biosynthesized from 17a,21-dihydroxy-5b-pregnane-3,11,20-trione; which is mediated by the enzyme 3-oxo-5-beta-steroid 4-dehydrogenase. In addition, Cortisonee, nadph, and hydrogen ion can be biosynthesized from cortisol and nadp through its interaction with the enzyme corticosteroid 11-beta-dehydrogenase isozyme 2. In cattle, cortisonee is involved in the metabolic pathway called the steroidogenesis pathway.
