Application
27-hydroxycholesterol (D6) or cholest-5-ene-3β,27-diol(d6) has been used as an internal standard to measure the concentration of 27-hydroxycholesterol in the pre- and post-statin-treated serum samples by mass spectrometry.
Biochem/physiol Actions
27-hydroxycholesterol is known to induce breast cancer cell proliferation and metastatic progression in experimental models. It might serve as a ligand for liver X receptors (LXR) and farnesoid X-activated receptors (FXRs). 27-hydroxycholesterol controls the action of hydrocymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase. It promotes cholesterol efflux from the vascular endothelium.
