Common Name | Androstenedione |

Description | Androstenedione, also known as fecundin, 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. Thus, androstenedione is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. Androstenedione exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Androstenedione exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Androstenedione participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Androstenedione can be converted into androstanedione through its interaction with the enzyme 3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase 1. In addition, Androstenedione can be converted into 19-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione through the action of the enzyme cytochrome P450 19A1. In cattle, androstenedione is involved in the metabolic pathway called the androstenedione metabolism pathway. Androstenedione is a potentially toxic compound. |
