Application

22(R)-hydroxycholesterol has been used as a liver X receptor (LXR) ligand in breast cancer cell lines. It may be used as an internal standard to spike mouse brain tissue samples for ultra-performance liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-HRMS) analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

22(R)-hydroxycholesterol (22(R)-HC) is a liver X receptor (LXR) ligand.. 22(R)-HC in combination with other oxysterols promote mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis. It regulates cholesterol homeostasis. Low levels of 22(R)-HC is observed in Alzheimer′s disease and it may be implicated in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol also suppresses prostate tumor progression.

General description

22(R)-hydroxycholesterol is a diastereomer of 22(S)-hydroxycholesterol. It is present in neonate brain.
