Produktinformation

• Name: (3β,25R)-Hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: The cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids and is a key regulatory enzyme in the biosynthesis of bile acids. Mutations in CYP7A1 have been associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The human CYP7A1 gene encodes a protein which contains several transcription factor response elements, including those for Sp1 and AP-2. The CYP7A1 gene also contains binding sites for nuclear receptors, such as PPARα, which regulate its expression. This gene product is involved in cholesterol metabolism by converting it to bile acids and has shown to be regulated by PPARα.
