- Metabolite
- HMDB0001457 (5beta-Cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-triol)
- Term
- Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX)
- Definition
- this enzyme catalyzes the first step in the oxidation of the side chain of sterol intermediates; the 27-hydroxylation of 5-beta-cholestane-3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-triol. cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare, inherited lipid-storage disease with large deposits of cholesterol and cholestanol are found in virtually every tissue, particularly the achilles tendons, brain, and lungs.
