BETA-CORTOL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

β-Cortol is a metabolite of cortisol (H714615), a steroid hormone, more specifically a glucocorticoid, produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland. Cortisol is released in response to stress and a low level of blood glucocorticoids. Its primary functions are to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis; suppress the immune system; and aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.

Definition

ChEBI: Beta-Cortol is a corticosteroid hormone.
