General description

27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) is synthesized from cholesterol by the action of sterol 27-hydroxylase in the liver. It is an abundant oxysterol in the circulation ranging from 0.15 to 0.73 μM. 27-HC serves as a substrate for bile synthesis. 27-hydroxycholesterol-d6 is a deuterated form of 27-hydroxycholesterol.

Application

27-hydroxycholesterol-d6 has been used:
  • as an internal standard in isotope dilution-mass spectrometry analysis of heart mitochondria samples
  • as an internal standard in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) for plasma sterol quantification
  • as a deuterated internal standard for spiking plasma samples for liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) analysis

Biochem/physiol Actions

27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) is a weak liver X receptor (LXR) agonist and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Elevated levels of 27-HC is observed in hypercholesterolemia. 27-HC is implicated in breast cancer tumor and glioblastoma progression. 27-HC may help in treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Elevated levels of 27-HC is associated with atherosclerotic lesions.

Glioblastoma is the most frequent primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Oxysterols are oxidation products of cholesterol generated by enzymatic reactions. 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC), an oxysterol, is an abundant metabolite of cholesterol. 27-HC significantly accelerates mammary cancer growth, proliferation and progression

Oxysterols (OHC) are biologically active cholesterol metabolites circulating in plasma that may be formed enzymatically (e.g. 24S-OHC, 25-OHC and 27-OHC) or by autoxidative mechanisms (e.g. 7-ketocholesterol, 7β-OHC and 25-OHC). Oxysterols are more soluble than cholesterol and are reported to exert

Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers and is associated with a decreased response of tumors to endocrine therapies. Here, we show that 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), a primary metabolite of cholesterol and an ER and liver X

Although 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) has been reported as a potent regulator of lipid homeostasis, its role in hepatic lipogenesis remains obscure. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of 27-HC on sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP-1) and hepatic

Oxysterols are cholesterol metabolites that serve multiple functions in lipid metabolism, including as liver X receptor (LXR) ligands. 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC) is an abundant oxysterol metabolized by CYP7B1. How 27HC impacts vascular health is unknown. We show that elevations in 27HC
