Invitrogen™ CYP27A1 Polyclonal Antibody

Description
Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Cytochrome P450 27A1.
CYP27A1 participates in the degradation of cholesterol to bile acids in both the classic and acidic pathways. [1] It is the initiating enzyme in the acidic pathway to bile acids, yielding oxysterols by introducing a hydroxyl group to the carbon at the 27 position in cholesterol. In the acidic pathway, it produces 27-hydroxycholesterol from cholesterol whereas in the classic or neutral pathway, it produces 3beta-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid. It is also involved in the metabolism of vitamin D3. While CYP27A1 is present in many different tissues, its function in these tissues is largely uncharacterized. In macrophages, 27-hydroxycholesterol generated by this enzyme may be helpful against the production of inflammatory factors associated with cardiovascular disease.
