| Bioactivity | Cholesterol oxidase, Rhodococcus sp. is a key enzyme in the cholesterol degradation process. It catalyzes the isomerization and oxidation of cholesterol mediated by the coenzyme FAD. Research indicates that cholesterol oxidase plays a crucial role in the pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by modulating the host macrophage immune response through inhibition of the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling pathway, thereby enhancing the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Cholesterol oxidase, from Rhodococcus sp., shows potential for research in the field of tuberculosis[1][2]. |
