4-Pregnen-17α,20β-diol-3-one is a C-21 steroid hormone that supports embryogenesis in various species. It is a metabolite of progesterone found in blood and acts as a precursor to other hormones, such as cortisol and aldosterone. It has been demonstrated to aid in the development of the fetus by raising EGF-1 levels, regulating the immune response and numerous other effects.
