Metabolite Identification
Common Name17a,21-Dihydroxypreg-nenolone
Description17alpha,21-Dihydroxypregnenolone, also known as 17alpha,21-dihydroxypregnenolone, 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, 17alpha,21-dihydroxypregnenolone is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. 17alpha,21-Dihydroxypregnenolone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 17alpha,21-Dihydroxypregnenolone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 17alpha,21-Dihydroxypregnenolone participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 17alpha,21-Dihydroxypregnenolone can be biosynthesized from cortexolone; which is mediated by the enzyme 3-beta-HSD 1. In addition, 17alpha,21-Dihydroxypregnenolone can be biosynthesized from 17a-hydroxypregnenolone; which is catalyzed by the enzyme steroid 21-hydroxylase. In cattle, 17alpha,21-dihydroxypregnenolone 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).
