  4. 2. 24s-Hydroxycholesterol : studies on regulatory mechanisms behind its formation in the brain and its potential use as a marker for neurodegeneration

    Author : Marjan Shafaati; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) belongs to the cytochrome P450 super family and is responsible for conversion of cholesterol to the oxysterol 24S- hydroxycholesterol (24S-OHC).
