Facts about Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase.
May play an important role in regulating lipid metabolism by synthesizing a corepressor that blocks sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) processing. In testis, creation of 25-hydroxycholesterol by macrophages may play a role in Leydig cell differentiation.
