The activity of hepatic microsomal cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase was studied in genetically obese and lean Zucker rats. The liver microsomal cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity in fatty Zucker rats (fa/fa) is about 50% to 70% lower than that…

We have recently cloned a full-length cDNA encoding the rat hepatic cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 (P450c7) (Li, Y. C., Wang, D. P., and Chiang, J. Y. L. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 12012-12019), which catalyzes the rate-limiting…

Human liver cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7) cDNAs were isolated from a human liver cDNA library. A full-length cDNA has 2901 nucleotides which encode a typical P450 polypeptide of 504 amino acid residues. Two different sequences of codon 100,…

A cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase gene containing 8 kb of the 5'-flanking region and 5 kb of the transcription region which covers exons 1 to 5 was isolated from a rat genomic library. The 2015 bp nucleotide sequence 5'-upstream from the start codon…

The transcriptional activity of the cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase gene CYP7A is repressed by bile acids. Taurine conjugates of chenodeoxycholate and deoxycholate, but not cholate and ursodeoxycholate, inhibited the CYP7A promoter/luciferase…

The human cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7) spans about 11 kb of the genome and contains six exons and five introns. Nucleotide sequences of a 5'-upstream region to exon III (5535 bp), a 5'-upstream EcoRI fragment (2575 bp), and an EcoRI…

The activity of the rat CYP7A/luciferase reporter gene was increased five-fold by all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) or 9-cis retinoic acid (9cRA) in transient transfection assay in HepG2 cells. Cotransfection with retinoid X receptor (RXR) stimulated…
