Mus musculus | expression of the gene in the mouse embryo as early as day 11.5 and gradual increase in mRNA and protein in postnatal brain. Over a 14-day culture period, during which the neurons extend processes and form increasing numbers of synapses but do not divide, there is a gradual increase in cholesterol 24-hydroxylase mRNA and protein | up |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | disruption of the cholesterol 24-hydroxylase gene causes an 50% decrease in cholesterol turnover, which is compensated for by an equal decrease in the rate of de novo cholesterol synthesis. Mice lacking cholesterol 24-hydroxylase show that whole-body fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism are normal. Profound learning disabilities in cholesterol 24-hydroxylase-deficient mice are often caused by gross anatomical defects in the subregions of the brain implicated in the behavior. A minimal concentration of 0.2 mM geranylgeraniol is required to restore LTP in hippocampal slices from knockout mice | Mus musculus |
physiological function | polymorphisms in the human gene are linked to neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the capacity to turn over cholesterol via the cholesterol 24-hydroxylase pathway may be acquired early during development of the central nervous system. The enzyme reduces the excretion of sterols from the brain but does not abolish this removal process | Mus musculus |
