Application
Cholesterol oxidase is used to determine serum cholesterol. The enzyme also finds application in the microanalysis of steroids in food samples and in distinguishing 3-ketosteroids from 3b-hydroxysteroids. Transgenic plants expressing cholesterol oxidase are being investigated in the fight against the cotton boll weevil. CHOD has also been used as a molecular probe to elucidate cellular membrane structures.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cholesterol oxidase (CHOD) is a monomeric flavoprotein containing FAD that catalyzes the first step in cholesterol catabolism. This bifunctional enzyme oxidizes cholesterol to cholest-5-en-3-one in an FAD-requiring step. This is subsequently isomerized to cholest-4-en-3-one with the release of H2O2. Optimum pH of the enzyme is 7.0. Hg2+, Ag+, ionic detergents inhibit the enzyme activity.
Preparation Note
Dissolves in cold 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. Solution is to be prepared just before use.
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1.0 μmol of cholesterol to 4-cholesten-3-one per minute at 37 °C and pH 7.0 in a peroxidase linked system.

A uniquely sensitive method for ceramide domain detection allowed us to study in detail cholesterol-ceramide interactions in lipid bilayers with low (physiological) ceramide concentrations, ranging from low or no cholesterol (a situation similar to intracellular membranes, such as endoplasmic reticulum)

The present review draws a general picture of the bioanalytical applications of electro-chemiluminescent reactions (ECL). Only the two main ECL reactions-i.e. the luminol-based and Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)-based reactions-are considered for application in the fields of enzyme biosensors, immunochemical biosensors, DNA biosensors, and

Cholesterol oxidase is used for the determination of serum cholesterol. It can be derived from Streptomyces, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Cellulomonas, and Brevibacterium. This study compared the performance characteristics of four enzymes in the endpoint cholesterol determination. Using the Mega analyzer, we

Site-directed mutagenesis was applied to enhance the thermostability and enzymatic activity of cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) isolated from Brevibacterium sp. Three amino acid residues (Q153E, F128L, and S143H) located near the FAD-binding site of the enzyme were substituted based on structural
