Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | At a half-maximum effective concentration of roughly 500 pM, 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol (7α,25-OHC) externally increases the migration of B and T cells in EBI2-expressing animals, but has no impact on EBI2-deficient cells [1]. |
| ln Vivo | Restoring 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol (1 μM; 1.5 hours) makes normal or EBI2-deficient B cells less homing to splenic follicular regions, desensitizing them [1]. |

| Additional Infomation |
7alpha,25-dihydroxycholesterol is a 7alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 25-hydroxy steroid, an oxysterol and a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is functionally related to a cholesterol. 7alpha,25-Dihydroxycholesterol has been reported in Homo sapiens with data available. |
