• Description: 17a-Dihydro equilin is a steroidal estrogen, which is a type of hormone utilized in medical therapies. It is derived from equine sources, specifically from the urine of pregnant mares, where it occurs naturally as a component of conjugated equine estrogens. The mode of action of 17a-Dihydro equilin involves binding to estrogen receptors in target tissues, where it influences gene expression and modulates various physiological processes. This action mimics the effects of endogenous estrogens, thus helping to maintain the balance and function of estrogen-dependent systems.
