3β,7β-Dihydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid
3β,7β-Dihydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid is a C27 acid that displays elevated levels in Niemann-Pick type C and Niemann-Pick type B diseases, contributing to toxicity in oculomotor neurons. It is synthesized from 3β-hydroxy-7-oxocholest-5-en- (25R) 26-oic acid (3βH,7O-CA) through the enzymatic action of hydroxysteroid 11-β dehydrogenase 1.
