ID   1.1.3.6
DE   cholesterol oxidase.
AN   cholesterol-O2 oxidoreductase.
CA   cholesterol + O2 = cholest-5-en-3-one + H2O2.
CC   -!- Cholesterol oxidases are secreted bacterial bifunctional enzymes that
CC       catalyze the first two steps in the degradation of cholesterol.
CC   -!- The enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of the 3beta-hydroxyl group to a
CC       keto group, and the isomerization of the double bond in the oxidized
CC       steroid ring system from the Delta(5) position to the Delta(6)
CC       position (cf. EC 5.3.3.1).
