Metabolite Identification
Common Name11b-Hydroxyprogesterone
Description11b-Hydroxyprogesterone, also known as 11b-hydroxyprogesterone, 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. 11b-Hydroxyprogesterone is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 11b-Hydroxyprogesterone participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 11b-Hydroxyprogesterone can be converted into corticosterone; which is catalyzed by the enzyme steroid 21-hydroxylase. In addition, 11b-Hydroxyprogesterone can be biosynthesized from 21-deoxycortisol through its interaction with the enzyme steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase. In cattle, 11b-hydroxyprogesterone is involved in the metabolic pathway called the steroidogenesis pathway.

Enzymes

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).

Reactions
Progesterone + Oxygen + Reduced adrenal ferredoxin → 11b-Hydroxyprogesterone + Water + Oxidized adrenal ferredoxindetails
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).
