Enzyme Information
| 1.14.14.25 |
Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9Y6A2
Cholesterol + [reduced NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + O(2) = (24S)- cholest-5-ene-3-beta,24-diol + [oxidized NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + H(2)O.
-!- 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. -!- Formerly EC 1.14.13.98.
