Description
11-keto Testosterone (CRM) (Item No. 9002654) is a certified reference material that is structurally categorized as an androgen. It is a significant hormone in certain fish, regulating the development of sexual development and behavior. 11-keto Testosterone binds the stickleback kidney androgen receptor (EC
50 = 43 nM). 11-keto Testosterone, at 10 nM, significantly activates the human androgen receptor expressed in zebrafish liver cells. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
Uses
A metabolite of Adrenosterone.

It has a role as an androgen, a marine xenobiotic metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid, an 11-oxo steroid, an androstanoid and a 17beta-hydroxy steroid. It is functionally related to a testosterone. It derives from a hydride of an androstane.
Biochem/physiol Actions
11-Ketotestosterone is a minor androgen in humans, but a major androgen in fish.
