Cholesterol CHOL), NADPH + H+, and O2 react to form 27-hydroxycholesterol (27OH-CHOL), H2O, and NADP+, in the mitochondrial matrix, catalysed by CYP27A1. 27OH-CHOL is the most abundant oxysterol in human plasma. Its formation is thought to play a central role in the mobilization of CHOL from non-hepatic tissues (Cali et al. 1991).
