| Targets |
11alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone targets steroid hormone pathways as a precursor to cortisol and aldosterone. As a hydroxylated progesterone derivative, it may interact with steroid hormone receptors or serve as a substrate for enzymes involved in steroidogenesis, including 11β-hydroxylase and other cytochrome P450 enzymes. The 11α-hydroxyl group distinguishes it from progesterone and other related steroids, potentially affecting its receptor binding and biological activity. However, specific molecular targets have not been extensively characterized.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
