On the substrate specificity of human CYP27A1 [PDF]
The mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) is required for degradation of the C27-sterol side chain in bile acid biosynthesis. CYP27A1 seems, however, to have roles beyond this, as illustrated by patients with a deficient sterol 27-hydroxylase due

Metabolism of Lumisterol2 by CYP27A1
Lumisterol2 (L2) is a photoproduct of UVB action on the fungal membrane sterol, ergosterol. Like vitamin D2, it is present in edible mushrooms, especially after UV irradiation. Lumisterol3 is similarly produced in human skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol by UVB and can be converted to hydroxy-metabolites by CYP27A1 and CYP11A1.

CYP27A1 mutation in a case of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: A case report
BACKGROUND Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disease caused by mutations in CYP27A1. It has a low incidence rate, insidious onset, and diverse clinical manifestations.

Bile acid homeostasis in female mice deficient in Cyp7a1 and Cyp27a1
Bile acids (BAs) are amphipathic molecules important for metabolism of cholesterol, absorption of lipids and lipid soluble vitamins, bile flow, and regulation of gut microbiome. There are over 30 different BA species known to exist in humans and mice, which are endogenous modulators of at least 6 different membrane or nuclear receptors.

Case report: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis with a novel mutation in the CYP27A1 gene mimicking behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia [PDF]
Background Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease caused by a mutation in the CYP27A1 gene. Due to the disruption of bile acid synthesis leading to cholesterol and cholestanol accumulation, CTX manifests ...

27-Hydroxylation of oncosterone by CYP27A1 switches its activity from pro-tumor to anti-tumor
Oncosterone (6-oxo-cholestane-3β,5α-diol; OCDO) is an oncometabolite and a tumor promoter on estrogen receptor alpha-positive breast cancer (ER(+) BC) and triple-negative breast cancers (TN BC). OCDO is an oxysterol formed in three steps from cholesterol:
