Common Name7a-Hydroxy-cholestene-3-one
Description7A-Hydroxy-cholestene-3-one, also known as cholest-4-en-7alpha-ol-3-one or 7 alpha-3ox-C, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cholesterols and derivatives. Cholesterols and derivatives are compounds containing a 3-hydroxylated cholestane core. Thus, 7a-hydroxy-cholestene-3-one is considered to be a bile acid lipid molecule. Analysis of 7a-Hydroxycholestene-3-one (HCO) in serum may serve as a novel, simple, and sensitive method for the detection of bile acid malabsorption in patients with chronic diarrhea of unknown origin (PMID 9952217 ). 7A-Hydroxy-cholestene-3-one is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Within humans, 7a-hydroxy-cholestene-3-one participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 7a-hydroxy-cholestene-3-one can be converted into 7a-hydroxy-5b-cholestan-3-one through the action of the enzyme 3-oxo-5-beta-steroid 4-dehydrogenase. In addition, 7a-hydroxy-cholestene-3-one can be biosynthesized from 7a-hydroxycholesterol; which is catalyzed by the enzyme 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 7. 7a-Hydroxy-cholestene-3-one is found in Trypanosoma brucei. 7a-Hydroxy-cholestene-3-one was first documented in 1985 (PMID: 3919058). In humans, 7a-hydroxy-cholestene-3-one is involved in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (ctx) (PMID: 9425924) (PMID: 2060639) (PMID: 3865344) (PMID: 3367085).
