General description

Trihydroxycholestanoic acid (THCA) is an oxidative metabolite of cholesterol and a precursor to bile acids. Very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (VLCS) associated with endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes activates THCA, the C27 bile acid intermediate.

Application

Trihydroxycholestanoic acid has been used as a sterol to test its reactivity with human mincle protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Trihydroxycholestanoic acid (THCA) and dihydroxycholestanoic (DHCA) accumulation is observed in Zellweger syndrome and cholestatic liver disease. The synthesis of (25R)-isomer of DHCA and THCA is favored by mitochondrial 27-hydroxylase.

We identified a new peroxisomal disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-methylacyl-coenzyme A (CoA) racemase. Patients with this disorder show elevated plasma levels of pristanic acid and the bile acid intermediates di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acid (DHCA and THCA)

Bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase (BACAT) catalyzes the conjugation of bile acids to glycine and taurine for excretion into bile. By use of site-directed mutagenesis and sequence comparisons, we have identified Cys-235, Asp-328, and His-362 as constituting a catalytic triad in

C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are an emerging family of pattern recognition receptors that recognizes pathogens or damaged tissue to trigger innate immune responses. However, endogenous ligands for CLRs are not fully understood. In this study, we sought to identify an
