General description

In enzymology, a cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.98) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:
cholesterol + NADPH + H+ + O2 --> (24S)-24-hydroxycholesterol + NADP+ + H2O. Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase, a cytochrome P450 (CYP46A1), is expressed at 100-fold higher levels in the brain than in the liver. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. Studies indicate that cholesterol 24-hydroxylase constitutes a major tissue-specific pathway for cholesterol turnover in the brain (Lund, 2003).

The major pathway of brain cholesterol turnover relies on its hydroxylation into 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-HC) using brain-specific cytochrome P450 46A1 (CYP46A1). 24S-HC produced exclusively in the brain normally traverses the blood-brain barrier to enter the circulation to the liver for excretion;

Alterations in brain cholesterol homeostasis have been broadly implicated in neurological disorders. Notwithstanding the complexity by which cholesterol biology is governed in the mammalian brain, excess neuronal cholesterol is primarily eliminated by metabolic clearance via cytochrome P450 46A1 (CYP46A1).
