General description

25-hydroxycholesterol is an oxygenated sterol and a hydroxylated derivative of cholesterol.

Biochem/physiol Actions

25-hydroxycholesterol inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis by downregulating the function of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase. It is found to be implicated in atherosclerosis. 25-hydroxycholesterol levels are known to be increased in hypercholesterolemic condition.

Packaging

The current paper demonstrates that cholesterol and its hydroxylated derivative, 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC), inhibit cholesterol synthesis by two different mechanisms, both involving the proteins that control sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs), membrane-bound transcription factors that activate genes encoding enzymes of lipid
