22-hydroxycholesterol is a cholesterol derivative synthesized in the liver and other tissues. It has been shown to have both beneficial and detrimental effects on human health. Its synthesis involves the hydroxylation of cholesterol at the 22-position by the enzyme CYP46A1. 22-hydroxycholesterol acts as a ligand for the nuclear receptor LXR, promoting the expression of genes involved in cholesterol efflux and reducing cholesterol levels in the body. It has also been linked to the regulation of immune responses, inflammation, and neuroprotection. However, high levels of 22-hydroxycholesterol have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Therefore, understanding the precise role of 22-hydroxycholesterol in various physiological and pathological processes is crucial for developing potential therapeutic strategies.'
