Biosynthesis of cholestanol: 5α-cholestan-3-one reductase of rat liver
The 3-Β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase of rat liver which catalyzes the conversion of 5α-cholestan-3-one to 5α-cholestan-3Β-ol is localized mainly in the microsomal fraction. The enzyme required NADPH as hydrogen donor and differed from the known 3-Β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases of the C19 series in...
