Identification
Common Name21-Deoxycortisol
ClassSmall Molecule
Description21-Deoxycortisol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gluco/mineralocorticoids, progestogins and derivatives. These are steroids with a structure based on a hydroxylated prostane moiety. 21-Deoxycortisol is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 21-Deoxycortisol participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 21-Deoxycortisol can be converted into 11b-hydroxyprogesterone; which is mediated by the enzyme steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase. In addition, 21-Deoxycortisol can be converted into cortisol through its interaction with the enzyme steroid 21-hydroxylase. In cattle, 21-deoxycortisol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the steroidogenesis pathway.
