Summary

DescriptionSteroidogenesis.png	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. However, they partly overlap, e.g. mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. White circles indicate changes in molecular structure compared with precursors. For more information on interpretation of molecular structures, see structural formula. Arrows are shown as unidirectional to indicate the usual net directions, but technically all biochemical reactions are considered bidirectional.

For the absence of conversion of corticosterone to cortisol: Steroid hormone biosynthesis Reference pathway (KO). KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. Kyoto University Bioinformatics Center. (1 November 2013). There is no appreciable conversion of corticosterone to cortisol in the adrenal cortex as 21-OH steroids are poor substrates for 17-alpha hydroxylase. Further reading: Hanukoglu I (1992).

current	15:22, 13 March 2013	2,075 × 1,842 (940 KB)	Slashme	Removed link from corticosterone to cortisol via CYP17A1, which is incorrect (according to http://www.genome.jp/kegg-bin/show_pathway?ko00140+C02140 )
	16:15, 9 July 2012	2,075 × 1,842 (932 KB)	Mikael Häggström	Addition and correction of stereochemistries at positions 11 and 17.
	04:24, 9 July 2012	2,075 × 1,842 (928 KB)	Mikael Häggström	Added stereochemistries, removed redundant white circle at cortisol, renamed 21-alpha hydroxylase to simply 21-hydroxylase.
	05:17, 13 December 2011	1,314 × 1,166 (530 KB)	Slashme	Align some text and arrows for neatness' sake.
	05:03, 13 December 2011	1,314 × 1,166 (530 KB)	Slashme	Fixed reaction scheme: corticosterone doesn't go to cortisol! Karl and Lindie, why didn't you fix it when you first found out? Tsk tsk.
	12:56, 8 May 2010	1,314 × 1,162 (510 KB)	Mikael Häggström	minor renaming of 3-beta-HSD
	09:28, 18 April 2010	1,314 × 1,162 (510 KB)	Mikael Häggström	Moved pregnenolone out of molecular structure
	08:54, 1 November 2009	1,003 × 883 (253 KB)	Mikael Häggström	"Bunny-jumped", since the change earlier probably was too small to make it want to really update, but that misplaced 6 was important.
