5α-Androstan-3α-ol
5α-Androstan-3α-ol is a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor agonist. 5α-Androstan-3α-ol can inhibit the transcriptional activity of the orphan nuclear receptor CAR (constitutive androstane receptor) . 5α-Androstan-3α-ol negatively regulates the activity of CAR by binding to CAR and promoting its dissociation from coactivator proteins. 5α-Androstan-3α-ol can be used to study nuclear receptor-mediated hormone metabolism and drug detoxification mechanisms[1].
