LITERATURE
metabolism
CYP7B1 is an enzyme expressed in many human tissues and implicated in cholesterol metabolism. In the liver, this protein is part of the alternate/acidic pathway for primary bile acid production while in brain, CYP7B1 provides the primary metabolic route for cholesterol derivatives dehydroepiandrosterone and related hydroxysteroids via 7alpha-hydroxylation
