The progestin 17 alpha Hydroxyprogesterone (17 alpha
Hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione; 17-OHP) is the product of steroid alpha
hydroxylation of
Progesterone by steroid 17 alpha-hydroxylase. 17 alpha
Hydroxyprogesterone can be converted into 11-deoxycortisol (by
hydroxylation at C21) or Androstenedione and acetate (by
cleavage of steroid C17 - C20 bond). Serum levels
of 17 alpha Hydroxyprogesterone have primarily been used in the clinical
setting as a means of diagnosis for 21-hyrdroxylase deficiency, a
congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
