Application
Cholesterol oxidase has been used in a study to improve treatment of oxysterol-mediated cytotoxicity. Cholesterol oxidase has also been used in a study that determined that cholesterol depletion impairs coupling between channel opening and vesicle release by allowing voltage-gated calcium channels to move further from release sites.
Cholesterol oxidase has been used in a study to improve treatment of oxysterol-mediated cytotoxicity. Cholesterol oxidase has also been used in a study that evaluated the effects of cholesterol depletion. This study reported that cholesterol depletion impairs the coupling between channel opening and vesicle release. Additionally, cholesterol oxidase is used to determine serum cholesterol levels. The enzyme also finds application in the microanalysis of steroids in food samples. It has also been used for distinguishing 3-ketosteroids from 3β-hydroxysteroids. Transgenic plants expressing cholesterol oxidase have been 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. The pH optimum of the enzyme is 7.0 to 7.5 and temperature optimum is 50 °C. The pH stability is 5.7-7.8. Hg2+, Ag+, and ionic detergents inhibit the enzyme activity. Molecular mass of the enzyme is 62 kDa. Pathogenic bacteria require CHOD to infect a host′s macrophage.
Preparation Note
CHOD is soluble in cold 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. Prepare solutions immediately before use.
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of cholesterol to 4-cholesten-3-one per min at pH 7.5 at 25 °C. Note: 4-cholesten-3-one may undergo isomerization.

Chronic exposure of blood vessels to cardiovascular risk factors such as free fatty acids, LDL-cholesterol, homocysteine and hyperglycemia can give rise to endothelial dysfunction, partially due to decreased synthesis and bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). Many of these same risk

Cholesterol oxidase from Brevibacterium sterolicum is a monomeric flavoenzyme catalyzing the oxidation and isomerization of cholesterol to cholest-4-en-3-one. This protein is a class II cholesterol oxidases, with the FAD cofactor covalently linked to the enzyme through the His(69) residue. In

Pathogens hijack host endocytic pathways to force their own entry into eukaryotic target cells. Many bacteria either exploit receptor-mediated zippering or inject virulence proteins directly to trigger membrane reorganisation and cytoskeletal rearrangements. By contrast, extracellular C. trachomatis elementary bodies (EBs)
