Expression of Sterol 27-Hydroxylase (CYP27A1) Enhances Cholesterol Efflux [PDF]
Cholesterol efflux from CHOP cells transfected with sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) was compared with non-transfected and mock-transfected cells. Transfection caused expression of CYP27A1, formation of 27-hydroxycholesterol, and inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis. Transfection enhanced cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I or human plasma by 2-3-

Cholestenoic acid, an endogenous cholesterol metabolite, is a potent γ-secretase modulator. [PDF]
BackgroundAmyloid-β (Aβ) 42 has been implicated as the initiating molecule in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD); thus, therapeutic strategies that target Aβ42 are of great interest.

CYP27A1 inhibits bladder cancer cells proliferation by regulating cholesterol homeostasis [PDF]
CYP27A1, an enzyme involved in regulating cellular cholesterol homeostasis, converts cholesterol into 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC). The relationship between CYP27A1 and cell proliferation was studied to determine the role of CYP27A1 in bladder cancer. The expression of CYP27A1 in three bladder cancer cell lines (T24, UM-UC-3 and 5637) were assessed by

Enzyme activity assay for cholesterol 27-hydroxylase in mitochondria
Mitochondrial cholesterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) plays an important role in the maintenance of intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. Cholesterol delivery to the mitochondrial inner membrane is believed to be a rate-limiting step for the “acidic ...

Impaired release of Vitamin D in dysfunctional adipose tissue: New cues on Vitamin D supplementation in obesity [PDF]
Context: Vitamin D accumulates in adipose tissue (AT) and vitamin D deficiency is frequent in obesity. Objective: We hypothesize that trafficking of vitamin D is altered in dysfunctional AT.

Expression and localization of sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) in monkey retina [PDF]
Sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) is a mitochondrial P-450 enzyme with broad substrate specificity for C27 sterols including 7-ketocholesterol (7kCh). CYP27A1 is widely expressed in human tissues but has not been previously demonstrated in the retina.

Hormonal regulation of the human sterol 27-hydroxylase gene CYP27A1 [PDF]
The mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) is a multifunctional cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyses important hydroxylations in the biosynthesis of bile acids and bioactivation of vitamin D3. Previous results [Babiker, Andersson, Lund, Xiu, Deeb, Reshef, Leitersdorf, Diczfalusy and Björkhem (1997) J. Biol. Chem.

A novel CYP27A1 frameshift mutation causing cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis in an Indian family
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare and underreported lipid storage disorder caused by various mutations in the CYP27A1 gene. Here, we report a novel homozygous mutation in the CYP27A1 gene in an Indian family.

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.
