11β-Hydroxyprogesterone (11β-OHP), also known as 21-deoxycorticosterone, as well as 11β-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, is a

derivative of progesterone.[1] It is a potent mineralocorticoid.[1] Syntheses of 11β-OHP from progesterone is catalyzed by the steroid 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) enzyme,[2][3] and, to a lesser extent, by the aldosterone synthase enzyme (CYP11B2).[2]

Function

Along with its

Outcome of 21-hydroxylase deficiency

It has been known since 1987 that increased levels of 11β-OHP occur in

21-deoxycortisol, respectively.[10] In the 2017 study mentioned above, serum progesterone concentrations in boys (10 days to 18 years old) with 21-hydroxylase deficiency reached levels similar to female luteal values (up to 10.14 ng/mL, depending on severity and treatment), while in the control group of boys progesterone was 0.07 ng/mL (0.22 nmol/L) on average, ranged from 0.05 to 0.40 ng/mL.[8]

In a 2016 study, classical CAH patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy had C19 11-oxygenated steroid serum levels that were elevated 3-4 fold compared to healthy controls.[11] In that same study, the levels of C19 11-oxygenated androgens correlated positively with conventional androgens in women but negatively in men. The levels of 11KT were four times higher than that of T in women with the condition. In adult women with CAH, the ratio of DHT produced in a backdoor pathway to that produced in a conventional pathway increases as control of androgen excess by glucocorticoid therapy deteriorates.[12] In CAH patients with poor disease control, 11-oxygenated androgens remain elevated for longer than 17OHP, thus serving as a better biomarker for the effectiveness of the disease control.[13][14] In males with CAH, 11-oxygenated androgen levels may indicate the presence testicular adrenal rest tumors.[14][15][16]

While studies suggest that 11β-OHP, also known as 21-deoxycorticosterone, can be used as marker for adrenal 21-hydroxylase deficiency,

17α-hydroxyprogesterone) gained acceptance for this purpose.[17][18][19]
