Metabolite Identification
Common Name17a-Estradiol
Description17a-Estradiol, also known as alpha-estradiol or estradiol-17alpha, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as estrogens and derivatives. These are steroids with a structure containing a 3-hydroxylated estrane. Thus, 17a-estradiol is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. 17a-Estradiol exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. 17a-Estradiol is a potentially toxic compound. 17a-Estradiol has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including glutaryl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency (gdhd).
