21
Q

What is the second product in the clidesterd building process

A

Mevalonate

22
Q

What is the third product in the cholesterol building process

A

23
Q

What is the form of Squalene

24
Q

Which enzyme actives the committed step in the production of cholesterol

A

HMG Co-A reductase

25
Where most of the cholesterol is produced in our body
liver cytosol
26
How phosphates effect Hmg coa reductase?
Inactivates it
27
How high levels of cholesterol in the cells effect production of cholesterol?
Inactivation of Hmg coa reductase
28
How high levels of cholesterol in liver cells effect HMG coa reductase?
It is degraded by proteolise of ubiquitin
29
What is cholesteryl ester?
Form of storage for surpass cholesterol
30
How a disease of surpass cholesterol is called
Hypercholesterolemia
31
Which enzyme statins holds back?
Hmg coa reductase
32
How statins lower the level of cholesterol in the blood
- Less cholesterol is produced | - More cholesterol absorbed by the receptors on the cells
33
Which element is harm in the familial hypercholesterolemia gets harmed
LDL receptor
34
Which enzyme turns cholesterol to cholesteryl Esther?
ACAT (acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase)
35
Which hormone is produced from cholesterol?
Progesterone Testosterone Cortisol
36
What is the origin product of testosterone?
Progesterone
37
What does aldosterone do?
Regulates reabsorbtion of Na+, cl-, HCO3 in the kidney
38
What is the backbone of spingolipids?
Sphingosine
39
How spingosine is different from glycerol?
Has another amine group and chain of 15 Carbons with double bond
40
What is the committed step of producing spinogolipids?
The step that catalyzed by serine palmitoyil coa transferase
