5α-Androstan-3α-ol
5α-Androstan-3α-ol is a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor agonist. It inhibits the transcriptional activity of the orphan nuclear receptor CAR (constitutive androstane receptor) . By binding to CAR and promoting its dissociation from coactivator proteins, 5α-Androstan-3α-ol negatively regulates CAR's activity. This compound is useful for studying hormone metabolism and drug detoxification mechanisms mediated by nuclear receptors.
