Metabolite Identification
Common NameDihydrocortisol
DescriptionDihydrocortisol 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, dihydrocortisol is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. Dihydrocortisol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Dihydrocortisol participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Dihydrocortisol can be converted into cortisol through the action of the enzyme 3-oxo-5-beta-steroid 4-dehydrogenase. In addition, Dihydrocortisol can be biosynthesized from tetrahydrocortisol; which is catalyzed by the enzyme aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4. In cattle, dihydrocortisol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the steroidogenesis pathway.
