Description

7α-hydroxy-4-Cholesten-3-one is a metabolite of 7α-hydroxy cholesterol and an intermediate in the biosynthesis of bile acids. Plasma levels of 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one positively correlate with the rate of bile acid synthesis in humans and are increased in patients following ileal resection.

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is a metabolite of Cholesterol (C432501).

Definition

ChEBI: A cholestanoid consisting of a cholesterol core having an oxo group at the 3-position, a C2C bond at the 4,5-position and an alpha-hydroxy group at the 7-position.
