Product Information

• Name: Pregnanediol 3α-O-β-D-glucuronide
• Synonyms: (3α,5β,20S)-20-Hydroxypregnan-3-yl β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid20α-Hydroxy-5β-pregnan-3α-yl β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid5β-Pregn ane-3α,20α-diol glucuronide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pregnanediol 3α-O-β-D-glucuronide is a glucuronide metabolite of progesterone, which is a key steroid hormone in the reproductive system. This compound is derived from the metabolic conversion of progesterone, primarily within the liver, where it undergoes glucuronidation. This process involves the addition of glucuronic acid, mediated by the enzyme UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, enhancing the compound’s solubility for renal excretion.
