<unk>  (11-deoxycorticosterone) is a mineralocorticoid secreted from Zona reticularis and Zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland.  In the cytosol of the mitochondrion, pregnenolone is converted to either androgens or 11-deoxycorticosterone and 11-deoxycortisol by enzymes of the endoplasmic reticulum.  Then, 11-deoxycorticosterone, along with 11-deoxycortisol, re-enters the mitochondrion, where the enzymes are located for tissue-specific conversion to mineralocorticoids or glucocorticoids, respectively.<unk>  is commonly found in two forms: the acetate salt<unk>  acetate, or<unk>  and the pivalate salt<unk>  pivalate).  Both forms are given as intramuscular injections as replacement therapy for Addison's disease.  This disease is marked by insufficient adrenal function, including low mineralocorticoid levels.<unk>  pivalate is sold for veterinary use by Novartis under the brand name Percoten.
