CAS 3862-25-7: 7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one
Description:7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, with the CAS number 3862-25-7, is a steroid compound that plays a significant role in cholesterol metabolism and is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of bile acids. This compound features a hydroxyl group at the 7α position of the cholestene backbone, which contributes to its biological activity. It is typically found in various biological systems, including human tissues, where it is involved in the regulation of cholesterol levels and may influence lipid metabolism. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in biological fluids, facilitating its interaction with enzymes and receptors. Additionally, 7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is known to be a ligand for liver X receptors (LXRs), which are nuclear receptors that regulate genes involved in lipid homeostasis. Its structural characteristics, including the steroid framework and functional groups, are crucial for its biological functions and potential therapeutic applications in managing cholesterol-related disorders.
