General Description

• β-Estradiol is a naturally occurring endogenous hormone in females

• It is an important steroid sex hormone involved in the regulation of several biological functions including gene transcription and protein synthesis

• This hormone is produced by the ovaries and can bind to and activate specific nuclear receptors

Applications

• β-Estradiol acts as an estrogenic hormone receptor agonist and activator of PI 3-kinase

• It shows inhibitory activity against aldehyde oxidase

• β-Estradiol presents mild anabolic and metabolic activities and increases blood coagulability in vivo experiments

• It plays a role in immune and inflammatory processes

• β-Estradiol triggers an increase in hepatic synthesis of some proteins, including sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), and thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), and suppresses the formation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

• This compound has been used for the in vitro maturation of bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs)
