Any C21-steroid carrying a hydroxy substituent at the 17α-position. Note that individual examples may have ring substituents at other positions and/or contain double bonds, aromatic A-rings, expanded/contracted rings etc., so the formula and mass may vary from that given for the generic structure.

This entity has been manually annotated by the ChEBI Team.
The chemical structure shown (which is analogous to those used in KEGG and MetaCyc) is a generic structure devised to represent a common steroid skeleton. Derivatives with ring substituents at other positions as well as those containing additional double bonds, aromatic A-rings, expanded/contracted rings etc. are also included.
