Cholesterol oxidase, Microorganism
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Cholesterol oxidase, Microorganism (ChOx, Microorganism) (EC 1.1.3.6) is a cholesterol oxidase identified from bacterial sources. Cholesterol oxidase, Microorganism catalyzes the oxidation of cholesterol to 4-cholesten-3-one, while simultaneously reducing oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. Cholesterol oxidase, Microorganism retains its enzymatic activity and exhibits improved catalytic efficiency upon immobilization. Cholesterol oxidase, Microorganism is applicable for cholesterol detection, steroid biotransformation, and research on tuberculosis-related diseases.
