General description

27-hydroxycholesterol is an abundant oxysterol in circulation.

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.

Sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) is known to phosphorylate the nuclear sphingolipid metabolite to generate sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Nuclear S1P is involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression; however, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this work, we have identified

Membrane-disrupting agents that selectively target virus versus host membranes could potentially inhibit a broad-spectrum of enveloped viruses, but currently such antivirals are lacking. Here, we develop a nanodisc incorporated with a decoy virus receptor that inhibits virus infection. Mechanistically, nanodiscs
