Cholesterol Esterase (CE)
Catalog Number:
Package:Customized package
Description:Cholesterol esterase (CE) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism by hydrolyzing cholesterol esters into free cholesterol and fatty acids. It is primarily found in the pancreas, liver, and intestines, where it aids in the digestion and absorption of dietary cholesterol. CE is also involved in the regulation of cholesterol levels within the body, influencing processes such as the formation of bile acids and lipoprotein metabolism. Its activity is essential for maintaining lipid homeostasis and overall cardiovascular health.

Cholesterol Oxidase (CO)
Catalog Number:
Package:Customized package
Description:Cholesterol oxidase (CO) is a bacterial enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of cholesterol to cholest-4-en-3-one, producing hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. This enzyme is widely used in clinical diagnostics for measuring cholesterol levels in blood samples, as it plays a crucial role in cholesterol metabolism. Additionally, cholesterol oxidase is used in research to study cholesterol biosynthesis, and in the biotechnology industry for the production of steroids and as a biocatalyst in biosensors. It is primarily sourced from species such as Streptomyces and Brevibacterium.

Diaphorase (DPR)
Catalog Number:
Package:Customized package
Description:Diaphorase, also known as NADH dehydrogenase or NAD(P)H oxidoreductase, is an essential enzyme involved in cellular redox reactions. It facilitates electron transfer from NADH or NADPH to various acceptors, playing a crucial role in the electron transport chain. This enzyme helps mitigate oxidative stress by reducing harmful oxidants and is key in regulating metabolic pathways by maintaining NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH ratios. Additionally, diaphorase contributes to cellular signaling processes, influencing cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
