Glycyrrhetinic acid

Glycyrrhetinic acid is a lipid of Prenol Lipids (PR) class. Glycyrrhetinic acid is associated with abnormalities such as Congenital Abnormality, Cortisol 11-beta-ketoreductase deficiency, Hypertensive disease, Mineralocorticoid Excess Syndrome, Apparent and Syndrome. The involved functions are known as Signal, Muscle Contraction, Pressure- physical agent, Agent and Metabolic Inhibition. Glycyrrhetinic acid often locates in Protoplasm, Body tissue, Muscle, Connexon and Extracellular. The associated genes with Glycyrrhetinic acid are SLC33A1 gene, GJB1 gene, RNU1-1 gene, HADHA gene and RNU1-4 gene. The related lipids are Steroids, Saponin, Octanols, Heptanol and amyrin.
