A cardenolide glycoside that is ouabain in which the double bond in the lactone ring has been reduced to a single bond. It is a cardiac glycoside and a derivative of ouabain which is used as a sodium pump antagonist and exhibits ionotropic effects.
dihydroouabain promotes the reaction [RORC protein binds to G6PC1 promoter]; dihydroouabain promotes the reaction [RORC protein binds to NPAS2 promoter]; RORC protein promotes the reaction [dihydroouabain results in increased expression of RORC mRNA]
