- Product Overview:
Estriol, a metabolite of 17?-estradiol and a major estrogen produced during pregnancy, has historically been used as an indicator of fetal well-being. In the final weeks before parturition, estriol levels increase significantly. In a longitudinal study in healthy pregnant women, total plasma estriol levels increased from 10 weeks gestation to approximately 150 ng/ml at week 38.{7767} The majority of the estriol synthesized in the later stages of pregnancy originates from fetal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and serves as a direct marker of fetal adrenal gland activity.{7766} In the 1960s and 1970s plasma and urine were used to measure estriol. However, saliva contains primarily unbound and unconjugated estriol, the biologically active form of the hormone, and therefore is currently a commonly used biological fluid for monitoring estriol levels.{7766,7799} Plasma levels of estriol in males and non-pregnant females is less than 2 ng/ml.{7647}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
