Difference between Allopregnanolone and Steroid

Allopregnanolone vs. Steroid

Allopregnanolone is a naturally occurring neurosteroid which is made in the body from the hormone progesterone. A steroid is an organic compound with four fused rings (designated A, B, C, and D) arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

Similarities between Allopregnanolone and Steroid

Allopregnanolone and Steroid have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Biosynthesis, Cytochrome P450, Dihydrotestosterone, Ketone, Metabolism, Natural product, Neurosteroid, Organic compound, Pregnancy, Pregnane, Pregnane X receptor, Pregnenolone, Progesterone, Progestogen, 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 5α-Dihydroprogesterone, 5α-Reductase.

Biosynthesis

Biosynthesis, i.e., chemical synthesis occuring in biological contexts, is a term most often referring to multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where chemical substances absorbed as nutrients (or previously converted through biosynthesis) serve as enzyme substrates, with conversion by the living organism either into simpler or more complex products.

Cytochrome P450

Cytochromes P450 (P450s or CYPs) are a superfamily of enzymes containing heme as a cofactor that mostly, but not exclusively, function as monooxygenases.

Dihydrotestosterone

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, 5α-DHT, androstanolone or stanolone) is an endogenous androgen sex steroid and hormone primarily involved in the growth and repair of the prostate and the penis, as well as the production of sebum and body hair composition.

Pregnane X receptor

In the field of molecular biology, the pregnane X receptor (PXR), also known as the steroid and xenobiotic sensing nuclear receptor (SXR) or nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group I, member 2 (NR1I2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR1I2 (nuclear Receptor subfamily 1, group I, member 2) gene.

Pregnenolone

Pregnenolone (P5), or pregn-5-en-3β-ol-20-one, is an endogenous steroid and precursor/metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of most of the steroid hormones, including the progestogens, androgens, estrogens, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids.
