Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46A1), an enzyme associated with the ER membrane, catalyses the 24-hydroxylation of cholesterol (CHOL) to 24-hydroxycholesterol (24OH-CHOL). In the body, this enzyme is expressed predominantly in the brain and is thought to play a major role in cholesterol turnover there (Lund et al. 1999, Mast et al. 2003).
