This case study highlights the role of AKR1C2/4 in the alternative androgen pathways. [74] [6] [3] Isolated 17,20-lyase deficiency syndrome due to variants in CYP17A1, cytochrome b 5, and POR may also disrupt the backdoor pathway to DHT, as the 17,20-lyase activity of CYP17A1 is required for both classical and backdoor androgen pathways.

The androgen backdoor pathway (red arrows) roundabout testosterone embedded in within conventional androgen synthesis that lead to 5α-dihydrotestosterone through testosterone [27] [28] [29] CAH is a genetic disorder characterized by impaired production of cortisol in the adrenal glands. [1] [4] Production of cortisol begins at week 8 of fetal ...
The androgen backdoor pathway (red arrows) roundabout testosterone embedded in within conventional androgen synthesis that lead to 5α-dihydrotestosterone through testosterone. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] 5α-Pregnan-17α-ol-3,20-dione (17-OH-DHP) is a progestogen , i.e., it binds to the progesterone receptors .

Therefore, androstanediol can be used a marker of the backdoor pathway of DHT synthesis. [11] Spectrometric studies identify androsterone as the main backdoor androgen in the human male fetus. Circulating levels are sex dependent, DHT being essentially absent in the female, in which titres of backdoor intermediates also are very low. [12]
An androgen (from Greek andr-, the stem of the word meaning ' man ') is any natural or synthetic steroid hormone that regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors.
An androgen conjugate is a conjugate of an androgen, such as testosterone. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They occur naturally in the body as metabolites of androgens. [ 1 ] Androgen conjugates include sulfate esters and glucuronide conjugates and are formed by sulfotransferase and glucuronosyltransferase enzymes , respectively. [ 1 ]
