AKR1D1_his

An enzyme that converts cholesterol to 4-cholesten-3-one. It was discovered in Eubacterium coprostanoligenes by a team at the Broad Institute of MIT in 2021. This conversion is the first of the three-step pathway of converting cholesterol to coprostanol, a sterol that does not get absorbed by the gut. A 6x his-tag is attached to the N-terminal end, allowing for easy purification and analysis through nickel/cobalt columns and western blotting.
