ID   1.1.3.6
DE   Cholesterol oxidase.
AN   Cholesterol-O(2) oxidoreductase.
CA   Cholesterol + O(2) = cholest-5-en-3-one + H(2)O(2).
CF   FAD.
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 3-beta-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).
