Popis: 7-keto-cholesterol is a non-physiological compound usually formed in vitro during the incubation of cholesterol. Experimental data indicates that this substance does not derive from 7α-hydroxycholesterol. Therefore, its formation should not be taken into account in the measurement of cholesterol-7α-hydroxylase activity. However, 7-keto-cholesterol strongly inhibits the activity of this enzyme.
