Cholesterol Oxidase from Streptomyces sp.

$295.00

Catalog #: P2010002 – 250 U

Cholesterol oxidase is a flavoprotein involved in the first step of cholesterol catabolism. The enzyme first oxidizes cholesterol to cholest-5-en-3-one then isomerizes it to cholest-4-en-3-one while producing hydrogen peroxide H2O2. Available in a 250 Units and custom bulk sizes.

About Cholesterol Oxidase

Cholesterol oxidase belongs to the oxidoreductases enzymatic family. This enzyme specifically acts on the CH-OH functional group. The systematic name of the enzymatic class is cholesterol:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme can be also found under the names of  cholesterol- O2 oxidoreductase, 3beta-hydroxy steroid oxidoreductase, and 3beta-hydroxysteroid:oxygen oxidoreductase. The Cholesterol oxidase enzyme plays important roles in the synthesis of bile acids.
