| Description | 5beta-Cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-triol is an intermediate in bile acid biosynthesis. 5beta-Cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-triol is the second to last step in the synthesis of 5beta-cyprinolsulfate. It is converted from 7alpha,12alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholestan-3-one via enzymatic reaction, and then it is converted into 3alpha,7alpha,12alpha,26-tetrahydroxy-5beta-cholestane via the enzyme cytochrome P450 (EC 1.14.13.15). This compound inhibits la-hydroxylation (PMID: 7937829 ). It is the byproduct of cholestanetetraol 26-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.161) and the reaction that catalyzes it is classified as a small molecule reaction (BioCyc). |
