How do corticotropin hormone carry out the hydroxylation of cholesterol? Correct Answer By binding cholesterol to mitochondrial cytochrome P450
Corticotropin facilitates the binding of the cholesterol necessary for hydroxylating cholesterol to mitochondrial cytochrome P450. The rate-limiting enzyme for the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone is also activated by this hormone.
