Assay method for mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase with 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one as a substrate in the rat liver

Mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.15) is an important enzyme, not only in the formation of bile acids from cholesterol intermediates in the liver but also in the removal of cholesterol by side chain hydroxylation in extrahepatic tissues. The enzyme has been assayed by complicated metho...
