Function
Involved in the utilization of cholesterol as the sole carbon and energy source by degrading the side chain during infection. Primarily catalyzes the sequential oxidation of the terminal methyl of cholest-4-en-3-one into (25S)-26-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one (alcohol), (25S)-26-oxocholest-4-en-3-one (aldehyde), to finally yield the carboxylic acid (25S)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate. Also able to sequentially oxidize cholesterol itself, not only cholest-4-en-3-one.
Biological Context
Pathway: Steroid metabolism; cholesterol degradation
