It is a metabolite of testosterone and plays a significant role in the biosynthesis of various steroid hormones, including androgens and estrogens. This chemical is characterized by its unique molecular structure, featuring a five-membered carbon ring (A ring) and a six-membered carbon ring (B and C rings), with a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms. The 1α and 17β hydroxyl groups are responsible for its diol classification. 5α-Androst-2-ene-1α,17β-diol is found in various biological tissues and fluids, such as urine and plasma, and can be used as a biomarker for certain medical conditions and hormonal imbalances.
The CAS Registry Mumber 1229-06-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,2,2 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1229-06: (6*1)+(5*2)+(4*2)+(3*9)+(2*0)+(1*6)=57 57 % 10 = 7 So 1229-06-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
