Description

General description

Trihydroxycholestanoic acid (THCA) is an oxidative metabolite of cholesterol and a precursor to bile acids. Very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (VLCS) associated with endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes activates THCA, the C27 bile acid intermediate.

Application

Trihydroxycholestanoic acid has been used as a sterol to test its reactivity with human mincle protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Trihydroxycholestanoic acid (THCA) and dihydroxycholestanoic (DHCA) accumulation is observed in Zellweger syndrome and cholestatic liver disease. The synthesis of (25R)-isomer of DHCA and THCA is favored by mitochondrial 27-hydroxylase.
