General description

3β,25-OH-7-oxo-5-cholestenoic acid is a cholesterol derivative and an oxysterol derived from cholesterol. The synthesis of CA occurs in mitochondria and the enzyme sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) catalyzes the step.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cholestenoic acid (CA) serves as a ligand to nuclear receptor and may be neurotoxic or neuroprotective based on their structural features. Defects in the enzymes catalyzing the formation of cholestenoic acids are implicated in disorders related to motor neuron degeneration.

Cholestenoic acids are formed as intermediates in metabolism of cholesterol to bile acids, and the biosynthetic enzymes that generate cholestenoic acids are expressed in the mammalian CNS. Here, we evaluated the cholestenoic acid profile of mammalian cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and

While the presence and abundance of the major oxysterols and cholestenoic acids in the circulation is well established, minor cholesterol metabolites may also have biological importance and be of value to investigate. In this study by observing the metabolism of
