General Description
(17beta)-17-hydroxy-4,4-dimethylandrost-5-en-3-one, also known as androsterone, is a steroid hormone found in humans and other animals. It is a metabolite of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, and acts as a pheromone that signals reproductive fitness in certain species. Androsterone is produced in the adrenal glands and gonads, and is excreted in urine and sweat. It has been found to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, and may also play a role in regulating mood and behavior.

The CAS Registry Mumber 5062-44-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,0,6 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5062-44:
(6*5)+(5*0)+(4*6)+(3*2)+(2*4)+(1*4)=72
72 % 10 = 2
So 5062-44-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
