General description

Type II cholesterol oxidase containing FAD cofactor covalently linked to the enzyme.

Application

Cholesterol oxidase has been used in a study to demonstrate that microheterogeneity in hydrophobic-hydrophilic block copolymer systems can be exploited for immobilizing enzymes and to carry out enzymatic reactions. Cholesterol oxidase has also been used in a study that concluded that amphipaths that activate cholesterol might be useful in treating NPC disease.
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 3β-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, which is then isomerized to cholest-4-en-3-one with the release of H2O2.

Physical form

Supplied as a lyophilzed powder containing sucrose

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.

A novel cholesterol biosensor was prepared based on gold nanoparticles-catalyzed luminol electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL). Firstly, l-cysteine-reduced graphene oxide composites were modified on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. Then, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were self-assembled on it. Subsequently, cholesterol oxidase
