17-α-Hydroxypregnenolone is a key steroid hormone and an essential intermediate in the steroidogenesis pathway. It is synthesized by the adrenal cortex and gonads and acts as a precursor to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and 17-hydroxyprogesterone, both of which play critical roles in various physiological processes. In the body, 17-α-hydroxypregnenolone is generated through the action of the mitochondrial enzyme 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), found in the adrenal glands and gonads. Abnormal levels of this hormone are often linked to endocrine disorders, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), highlighting its importance in assessing adrenal function and diagnosing related conditions. Furthermore, 17-α-hydroxypregnenolone is valuable in research focused on hormone metabolism and the development of related pharmaceuticals.
