17 Hydroxyprogesterone ELISA kits are designed for the specific detection of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in biological samples. 17-Hydroxyprogesterone is a compound that is metabolized in humans and can be detected in saliva, urine, and serum samples. It has the chemical formula C21H30O3. 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is an endogenous progestogen involved in the biosynthesis of various steroids. Derived from progesterone, it acts as an agonist of the progesterone receptor and a partial agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor, with elevated levels indicating conditions such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia and contributing to progestational activity during pregnancy.
