Function
11-Ketoandrosterone is an androgen.https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/searchId.do?chebiId=34134 CHEBI:34134 - 11-Ketoandrosterone 22 October 2020 24 October 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201024215204/https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/searchId.do?chebiId=34134 live Androgens are sex hormones that stimulate or control the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors. However, the potency of 11-ketoandrosterone as an agonist of androgen receptors was not known 2020 y.
Structure
11-Ketoandrosterone is a 11-keto form and a metabolite of androsterone.
11-Ketoandrosterone belongs to a group of 11-oxyandrogens, i.e. 11-oxygenated (oxygen atom on C11 position forms a ketone group) 19-carbon steroids. 11-oxyandrogens are potent and clinically relevant agonists of the androgen receptors.

Turcu AF, Rege J, Auchus RJ, Rainey WE 11-Oxygenated androgens in health and disease Nature Reviews. Endocrinology 16 5 284–296 May 2020 32203405 10.1038/s41574-020-0336-x 212732699 7881526 11-ketotestosterone, derived from 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione, may be the main androgen for healthy women.

SRD5A2 catalyzes the 5α-reduction of 11-ketotestosterone that terminates at 11-ketoandrosterone, but only causes a small amount of 11-ketotestosterone inactivation. However, since the metabolism of the glucocorticoid cortisol also produces 11-ketoandrosterone, 11-ketoandrosterone may be considered as a more specific urinary marker for the production of 11-ketotestosterone.
