4-cholesten-3-one

7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is an intermediate in bile acid synthesis from cholesterol, a PXR agonist, and a biomarker for bile acid loss and diseases related to defective bile acid biosynthesis. It is also the physiological substrate for [CYP8B1].

7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving 7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one. 7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is a bile acid precursor that crosses the blood-brain barrier and can be used as an indicator of hepatic bile acid synthesis.7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is a pregnane X receptor (PXR) agonist.7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one can be used to study the relationship between bile acids and bile acids.7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is an agonist of the pregnane X receptor (PXR). 7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one can be used to study diseases associated with defective bile acid biosynthesis.

Cholestenone is an intermediate oxidation product of cholesterol that is metabolized primarily in the liver. It can cause long-term defects in cell function. It is highly mobile in membranes and affects cholesterol turnover and efflux.
