Cholesterol oxidase

Description:
Cholesterol oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of cholesterol to cholest-4-en-3-one, along with the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. It is produced by various microorganisms, particularly certain species of fungi and bacteria. This enzyme is characterized by its specificity for cholesterol, making it a valuable tool in biochemical assays for cholesterol measurement. Cholesterol oxidase typically operates optimally at a specific pH and temperature, which can vary depending on the source organism. The enzyme is often used in clinical diagnostics, particularly in cholesterol testing kits, due to its ability to produce measurable amounts of hydrogen peroxide, which can be quantified colorimetrically. Additionally, cholesterol oxidase has applications in biotechnological processes, including biosensors and food industry applications, where it can help monitor cholesterol levels in food products. Its CAS number, 9028-76-6, is a unique identifier that facilitates the identification and study of this enzyme in scientific literature and databases.
