5α-Androst-16-en-3α-ol
This steroid pheromone, found in boar testes and human sweat, acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors (e.g., α1β2γ2) . It enhances GABA-activated currents in vitro in cell lines like HEK293 and primary cerebellar neurons, making it a valuable tool for neuropharmacology and pheromone research.
