Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) is a cytochrome P450 enzyme and endoplasmic reticulum protein expressed in brain tissues, It is important in brain cholesterol homeostasis being responsible for cholesterol elimination by its hydroxylation into 24S-hydroxycholesterol. Cholesterol cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, but 24S-hydroxycholesterol can, allowing it to travel via the circulatory system to the liver for catabolism. Increasing evidence suggests that CYP46A1 has a role in the pathogenesis and progression of neurodegenerative disorders with there being significant CYP46A1 expression in astrocytes and around amyloid plaques in Alzheimers disease, and increases in the level of CYP46A1 in the brain having a possible neuroprotective role in Huntingtons disease.

Cytochrome P450 46A1 belongs to the cytochrome P450 family which are a group of monooxygenases. Cytochrome P450 46A1 is involved in the turnover of cholesterol converting it into 24S-hydroxycholesterol and, to a lesser extent, 25-hydroxycholesterol. This protein is expressed in the brain and mRNA has been found to be broadly distributed with higher levels in the gray matter zones and lower levels in white matter areas. It is not detected in fetal brain but its expression increases linearly with age. It localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and the microsome membrane. The unprocessed precursor is 500 amino acids long and has a predicted molecular weight of 56.8KDa.
