Metabolite Identification
Common Name20α-Hydroxycholesterol
Description20alpha-Hydroxycholesterol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cholesterols and derivatives. Cholesterols and derivatives are compounds containing a 3-hydroxylated cholestane core. Thus, 20alpha-hydroxycholesterol is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. 20alpha-Hydroxycholesterol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 20alpha-Hydroxycholesterol participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 20alpha-Hydroxycholesterol can be converted into 20a,22b-dihydroxycholesterol; which is mediated by the enzyme cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, mitochondrial. In addition, 20alpha-Hydroxycholesterol can be biosynthesized from cholesterol through the action of the enzyme cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, mitochondrial. In cattle, 20alpha-hydroxycholesterol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the steroidogenesis pathway.
