Cholestenoic acid (CA) serves as a ligand to nuclear receptor and may be neurotoxic or neuroprotective based on their structural features. Defects in the enzymes catalyzing the formation of cholestenoic acids are implicated in disorders related to motor neuron degeneration.
General description
3β,25-OH-7-oxo-5-cholestenoic acid is a cholesterol derivative and an oxysterol derived from cholesterol. The synthesis of CA occurs in mitochondria and the enzyme sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) catalyzes the step.
