17a-Hydroxyprogesterone (CAS 68-96-2)
QUICK LINKS
17a-Hydroxyprogesterone is a steroid hormone that acts as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of other steroid hormones, such as cortisol and androstenedione. It is involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and plays a role in the development of the female reproductive system. 17a-Hydroxyprogesterone functions as a precursor in the synthesis of other important hormones, contributing to the hormonal balance and regulation. At the molecular level, it interacts with specific enzymes and receptors to initiate the synthesis of cortisol and androstenedione, thereby influencing various physiological processes. Its mechanism of action involves binding to specific receptors and activating signaling pathways that ultimately lead to the production of other steroid hormones.
