Cat. No.: HY-W587733
CAS No.: 1662-06-2
Synonyms: 17,20β-P; 17,20β-DHP
17α,20β-Dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17,20β-P; 17,20β-DHP) acts as the maturation-inducing hormone (MIH) in salmonid fish and rainbow trout. 17α,20β-Dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one binds to oocyte-specific plasma membrane receptors and pertussis toxin-sensitive inhibitory G proteins in fish, inhibits Adenylate Cyclase and reduces intracellular cAMP via the membrane receptor-G protein coupling pathway, thereby initiating downstream signal transduction. 17α,20β-Dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one induces de novo synthesis of cyclin B, mediates the translation of cyclin B mRNA and the phosphorylation of cdc2, and promotes the production of maturation-promoting factor (MPF). 17α,20β-Dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one drives meiotic maturation of fish oocytes. 17α,20β-Dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one is applicable for development-related research .
