16-BETA-HYDROXYTESTOSTERONE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

16β-Hydroxytestosterone is a testosterone metabolite synthesized using an active site substitution in cytochrome P450 resulting in steroid hydroxylation .

Definition

ChEBI: 16beta-hydroxytestosterone is an androstanoid that is testosterone substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 16. A natural product found in Daphnia magna exposed to the biocide tributyltin. It has a role as an androgen and a Daphnia magna metabolite. It is a 17beta-hydroxy steroid, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid, an androstanoid and a 16beta-hydroxy steroid. It is functionally related to a testosterone.
