The three substrates of this enzyme are cholesterol, a reduced electron acceptor, and oxygen. Its products are 25-hydroxycholesterol, the electron acceptor, and water.[1][2]

This enzyme is an oxidoreductase, that uses molecular oxygen as oxidant and contains a di-iron (Fe-O-Fe) cofactor.[3] The systematic name of this enzyme class is cholesterol, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (25-hydroxylating). It is also called cholesterol 25-monooxygenase.[4]

Transcripts for this enzyme have been identified in macrophages from the testis.[5][6]
