Application

27-hydroxycholesterol-d6 has been used: as an internal standard in isotope dilution-mass spectrometry analysis of heart mitochondria samples as an internal standard in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) for plasma sterol quantificationas a deuterated internal standard for spiking plasma samples for liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) analysis

Biochem/physiol Actions

27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) is a weak liver X receptor (LXR) agonist and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Elevated levels of 27-HC is observed in hypercholesterolemia. 27-HC is implicated in breast cancer tumor and glioblastoma progression. 27-HC may help in treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Elevated levels of 27-HC is associated with atherosclerotic lesions.

General description

27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) is synthesized from cholesterol by the action of sterol 27-hydroxylase in the liver. It is an abundant oxysterol in the circulation ranging from 0.15 to 0.73 μM. 27-HC serves as a substrate for bile synthesis. 27-hydroxycholesterol-d6 is a deuterated form of 27-hydroxycholesterol.
