Application

5β-Cholestan-3α-ol was used as internal standard for analysis of sterols in plasma by GC and HPLC.

Biochem/physiol Actions

5β-Cholestan-3α-ol is a sterol produced endogenously from cholesterol and has been isolated from feces of human and rats. It is derived from cholesterol by the action of intestinal microorganisms.

Preparation Note

5β-Cholestan-3α-ol yields clear, colorless to faint yellow solution in chloroform at 50 mg/ml.

Our purpose was to examine the in vitro modulation of liver mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (S27OHase) and microsomal cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CH7alphaOHase) activities by certain drugs, sterols, oxysterols and bile acids, and to compare the influence of sex, age, diet and cholestyramine

The activity (Po) of large-conductance voltage/Ca(2+)-gated K(+) (BK) channels is blunted by cholesterol levels within the range found in natural membranes. We probed BK channel-forming α (cbv1) subunits in phospholipid bilayers with cholesterol and related monohydroxysterols and performed computational dynamics
