Descripción

7-Ketocholesterol is a reactive molecule that can induce inflammation and has been shown to be associated with eye disorders. 7-Ketocholesterol is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and is converted to 7-keto-cholesterol by the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. This compound has also been shown to be a potent inducer of autophagy, which is a process that degrades intracellular components. 7-Ketocholesterol binds to cell nuclei and alters their shape, which may lead to cancerous cell growth. For example, this molecule induces apoptosis in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells. The mechanism of action for 7-ketocholesterol involves mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP binding cassette transporters, and DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
