cholesterol binding

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Binding to cholesterol (cholest-5-en-3-beta-ol); the principal sterol of vertebrates and the precursor of many steroids, including bile acids and steroid hormones. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]

Cholesterol binding is a molecular function that describes the ability of a protein or other molecule to interact with cholesterol. Cholesterol is a sterol lipid that is essential for the structure and function of cell membranes. It is also a precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen. Cholesterol binding proteins play a variety of roles in cells, including regulating cholesterol levels, mediating cholesterol transport, and facilitating cholesterol-dependent signaling pathways. Cholesterol binding proteins can interact with cholesterol in a variety of ways. Some proteins bind cholesterol directly, while others bind to cholesterol-containing complexes. The strength of the binding interaction can vary depending on the specific protein and the environment. Cholesterol binding is a highly regulated process that is influenced by a variety of factors, including the concentration of cholesterol, the presence of other lipids, and the activity of cholesterol-binding proteins. Dysregulation of cholesterol binding can contribute to a variety of diseases, including atherosclerosis, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. '
