Product Name :
CYP27A1 (E131) Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
CYP27A1 participates in the degradation of cholesterol to bile acids in both the classic and acidic pathways.[1] It is the initiating enzyme in the acidic pathway to bile acids, yielding oxysterols by introducing a hydroxyl group to the carbon at the 27 position in cholesterol. In the acidic pathway, it produces 27-hydroxycholesterol from cholesterol whereas in the classic or neutral pathway, it produces 3β-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid.It is also involved in the metabolism of vitamin D3. While CYP27A1 is present in many different tissues, its function in these tissues is largely uncharacterized. In macrophages, 27-hydroxycholesterol generated by this enzyme may be helpful against the production of inflammatory factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Alternative Name :
Sterol 26-hydroxylase; mitochondrial; 5-beta-cholestane-3-alpha; 7-alpha; 12-alpha-triol 27-hydroxylase; Cytochrome P-450C27/25; Cytochrome P450 27; Sterol 27-hydroxylase; Vitamin D(3) 25-hydroxylase; CYP27A1; CYP27 Swiss-Prot :
