Conversion of 7-ketocholesterol to oxysterol metabolites by recombinant CYP27A1 and retinal pigment epithelial cells[S]
Of the different oxygenated cholesterol metabolites, 7-ketocholesterol (7KCh) is considered a noxious oxysterol implicated in the development of certain pathologies, including those found in the eye. Here we elucidated whether sterol 27-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 27A1 (CYP27A1) is involved in elim...
