cholesterol 24-hydroxylase
Cat No.
EXWM-0922
Description
A P-450 heme-thiolate protein. The enzyme can also produce 25-hydroxycholesterol. In addition, it can further hydroxylate the product to 24,25-dihydroxycholesterol and 24,27-dihydroxycholesterol. This reaction is the first step in the enzymic degradation of cholesterol in the brain as hydroxycholesterol can pass the blood-brain barrier whereas cholesterol cannot. The direct electron donor to the enzyme is EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH-hemoprotein reductase.
