Descripción

21-Dehydrocorticosterone is an inactive form of corticosterone, which is the active form of aldosterone. It is converted to a more active form by dehydrogenase enzymes in the mitochondria. 21-Dehydrocorticosterone does not have any activity in animals and has low activity in humans. 21-Dehydrocorticosterone is found in the cytosol as an intermediate product of cholesterol metabolism, and it has been shown to be involved in the formation of acids. The enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase converts 21-dehydrocorticosterone to 11-deoxycortisol and then to cortisone. 21-Dehydrocorticosterone can also be converted into cortodoxone by hydroxylation with cytochrome P450 enzymes or into 11-deoxycortisone by oxidation with cytochrome P450 enzymes.
