Identification of new mutations in sterol 27-hydroxylase gene in Japanese patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX).

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a hereditary sterol storage disease associated with accumulation of cholesterol and cholestanol in various tissues, especially tendons and neural tissues.

Subverting sterols: rerouting an oxysterol-signaling pathway to promote tumor growth. [PDF]

, 2013
Oxysterols are oxidized derivatives of cholesterol that are generated enzymatically or through autoxidation. Initially identified as important lipid signaling molecules in the context of atherosclerosis and inflammation, accumulated evidence indicates ...

Regulation of classic and alternative bile acid synthesis in hypercholesterolemic rabbits: effects of cholesterol feeding and bile acid depletion

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
The effect of cholesterol feeding (3 g/day) on bile acid synthesis was examined in 10 New Zealand white rabbits (NZW), 8 Watanabe heterozygous and 10 homozygous rabbits with partial and complete deficiencies of LDL receptors. After 10 days of cholesterol

Function annotation of hepatic retinoid x receptor α based on genome-wide DNA binding and transcriptome profiling. [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundRetinoid x receptor α (RXRα) is abundantly expressed in the liver and is essential for the function of other nuclear receptors. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and mRNA profiling data generated from wild type and RXRα-null mouse ...

A Role of the Bile Salt Receptor FXR in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2010
This study reviews current insights into the role of bile salts and bile salt receptors on the progression and regression of atherosclerosis. Bile salts have emerged as important modifiers of lipid and energy metabolism.

Serum cholestenoic acid as a potential marker of pulmonary cholesterol homeostasis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
The conversion of cholesterol into the more polar metabolites 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OH) and cholestenoic acid by the cytochrome P450 sterol 27-hydroxylase is a cholesterol-removal mechanism used by almost all cells.

Pubertal presentation in seven patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to P450 Oxidoreductase deficiency [PDF]

, 2010
Context: P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is a crucial electron donor to all microsomal P450 cytochrome (CYP) enzymes including 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) and P450 aromatase.

Cholesterol, bile acid, and lipoprotein metabolism in two strains of hamster, one resistant, the other sensitive (LPN) to sucrose-induced cholelithiasis1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
A comprehensive study of cholesterol, bile acid, and lipoprotein metabolism was undertaken in two strains of hamster that differed markedly in their response to a sucrose-rich/low fat diet.

Evidence for a role of sterol 27-hydroxylase in glucocorticoid metabolism in vivo [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 2013
The intracellular availability of glucocorticoids is regulated by the enzymes 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (HSD11B1) and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (HSD11B2). The activity of HSD11B1 is measured in the urine based on the (tetrahydrocortisol+5α-tetrahydrocortisol)/tetrahydrocortisone ((THF+5α-THF)/THE) ratio in humans and the ...

Synthesis of 27-hydroxycholesterol in rat liver mitochondria: HPLC assay and marked activation by exogenous cholesterol.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Sterol 27-hydroxylase, the mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the first step in oxidation of the sterol side chain in hepatic bile acid synthesis, also catalyzes the synthesis of 27-hydroxycholesterol from cholesterol.
