Description

Application

6β-Hydroxytestosterone has been used as a standard in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis to measure testosterone 6 β -hydroxylase activity in rat liver microsomes, and measure cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) activity in the intestinal spheroid model.

Biochem/physiol Actions

6β-Hydroxytestosterone is a CYP3A4 metabolite; androgenic.

6β-Hydroxytestosterone is a metabolite generated by brain testosterone cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1). It may elicit angiotensin II-induced neurogenic hypertension and inflammation in male mice.
