English: *Enzymes, their cellular location, substrates and products in human steroidogenesis. Shown also is the major classes of steroid hormones: progestagens, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens and estrogens.
Steroidogenesis of steroid hormones. [1] Steroidogenic enzymes are enzymes that are involved in steroidogenesis and steroid biosynthesis. [2] [3] ...
Steroidogenesis is the biological process by which steroids are generated from cholesterol and changed into other steroids. [73] The pathways of steroidogenesis differ among species. The major classes of steroid hormones, as noted above (with their prominent members and functions), are the progestogens , corticosteroids (corticoids), androgens ...
A steroid hormone is a steroid that acts as a hormone.Steroid hormones can be grouped into two classes: corticosteroids (typically made in the adrenal cortex, hence cortico-) and sex steroids (typically made in the gonads or placenta).

The steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, commonly referred to as StAR (STARD1), is a transport protein that regulates cholesterol transfer within the mitochondria, which is the rate-limiting step in the production of steroid hormones.
Steroidogenesis showing glucocorticoids in green ellipse at right with the primary example being cortisol [5] It is not a strictly bounded group, but a continuum of structures with increasing glucocorticoid effect. Glucocorticoid effects may be broadly classified into two major categories: immunological and metabolic.
Steroidogenesis, showing mineralocorticoids in ellipse at top right. [2] Note that it is not a strictly bounded group, but a continuum of structures with increasing mineralocorticoid effect, with the primary example aldosterone at top.
