Description

Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone and neurosteroid. Pregnenolone is synthesized from cholesterol and has many physiological effects, including regulation of transcriptional activity, intracellular Ca2+ levels, locomotor activity, and the hippocampal formation. The physiological function of pregnenolone has been studied extensively in model organisms such as rodents. The most important receptor for pregnenolone is the nuclear receptor, which regulates diverse processes such as brain functions by controlling the expression of specific genes that encode proteins involved in these processes.
Pregnenolone also binds to the GABA A receptor (GABAA), which is a ligand-gated ion channel that plays an important role in regulating neuronal excitability. GABAA receptors are composed of five subunits with two different types (α or β) linked together to form hetero-pentamers. Pregnenolone binds to one of the α subunits on the GABAA receptor complex
