:6Beta-hydroxyestrone
Description:
6β-Hydroxyestrone is a naturally occurring estrogen metabolite derived from estrone, a key hormone in the human body. It is characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group at the 6β position of the estrone structure, which influences its biological activity and receptor binding. This compound is part of the estrogen metabolic pathway and plays a role in the regulation of various physiological processes, including reproductive functions and bone health. 6β-Hydroxyestrone exhibits estrogenic activity, although it is generally considered to be less potent than estrone and estradiol. Its presence in biological systems can be indicative of metabolic processes and may have implications in hormone-related conditions. The compound is of interest in research related to hormone replacement therapy, cancer biology, and the study of endocrine disruptors. As with many steroid hormones, its synthesis and metabolism can be influenced by various factors, including age, sex, and health status.

6β-Hydroxy Estrone
CAS:Controlled ProductFormula:C18H22O3Color and Shape:NeatMolecular weight:286.3656b-Hydroxy estrone
CAS:Controlled Product<p>6b-Hydroxy estrone is a reactive metabolite of estrogens. It can be found in urine samples and is detectable by gas chromatography. It can also be detected in human serum and animal tissues. This metabolite has been shown to be carcinogenic in animals, although it's unclear if it has the same effect on humans. 6b-Hydroxy estrone has been shown to cause cancer in the liver and uterus in rats, but not in the breast or cervix. It inhibits the production of progesterone, which may lead to an increased risk of endometrial cancer.</p>Formula:C18H22O3Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:286.37 g/mol
