26-Hydroxycholesterol is a lipid of Sterol Lipids (ST) class. 26-hydroxycholesterol is associated with abnormalities such as Cardiovascular Diseases, Vascular Diseases, Metabolic syndrome, Obesity and Fatty Streak, Arterial. The involved functions are known as Oxidation, phospholipase activity, glucose metabolism, Binding (Molecular Function) and Regulation. 26-hydroxycholesterol often locates in Immune system, Body tissue, Extracellular, Protoplasm and Back. The associated genes with 26-Hydroxycholesterol are Homologous Gene, chylomicron remnant, Receptor Gene, Alleles and D3 compound. The related lipids are 27-hydroxycholesterol, Hydroxycholesterols, Lysophosphatidylcholines, Total cholesterol and Lipopolysaccharides. The related experimental models are Knock-out and Transgenic Model.
To understand associated biological information of 26-Hydroxycholesterol, we collected biological information of abnormalities, associated pathways, cellular/molecular locations, biological functions, related genes/proteins, lipids and common seen animal/experimental models with organized paragraphs from literatures.
