This enzyme has a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa and is mainly expressed in the liver with presence also noted in the kidney brain and other tissues. CYP7B1 catalyzes the hydroxylation of oxysterols and other sterol substrates which is an essential step in cholesterol homeostasis and metabolism. This enzyme functions within the endoplasmic reticulum using NADPH as a cofactor.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP7B1 plays a role in the conversion of cholesterol derivatives into bile acids. It is not typically considered part of a larger protein complex but interacts locally with other enzymes for bile acid synthesis. The enzyme's activity ensures the maintenance of cholesterol balance by converting excess cholesterol into bile acids which are critical for fat digestion and absorption in the intestine. The products of CYP7B1 activity are further metabolized by other enzymes in the bile acid biosynthesis pathways contributing to lipid regulation in the body.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP7B1 is integral to the alternative bile acid synthesis pathway distinguishing it from the classic pathway. This pathway provides a mechanism to balance cholesterol levels when the primary pathway is insufficient. CYP7B1 also relates functionally to CYP7A1 another enzyme involved in bile acid synthesis although CYP7A1 belongs to the classic pathway. These enzymes ensure that cholesterol conversion is adaptable and responsive to physiological needs maintaining lipid and energy homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nMutations in CYP7B1 can lead to hereditary spastic paraplegia type 5 (SPG5) a neurological disorder characterized by progressive lower limb weakness and spasticity. The enzyme’s dysregulation also associates with liver conditions due to cholesterol and bile acid imbalance although the specifics of liver disease involvement remain under investigation. Associated pathways further implicate proteins like ABC transporters that manage lipid transport across membranes in both neurological and hepatic contexts connected to CYP7B1 dysfunction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851278471337,"sku":"ab248849","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab248849","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
