DE   Cholesterol-5,6-oxide hydrolase.
AN   ChEH.
AN   Cholesterol-epoxide hydrolase.
CA   (1) 5,6-alpha-epoxy-5-alpha-cholestan-3-beta-ol + H(2)O = cholestane-3-
CA   beta,5-alpha,6-beta-triol.
CA   (2) 5,6-beta-epoxy-5-beta-cholestan-3-beta-ol + H(2)O = cholestane-3-
CA   beta,5-alpha,6-beta-triol.
CC   -!- The enzyme appears to work equally well with both diastereoisomers of
CC       cholesterol 5,6-epoxide.
CC   -!- The product is a competitive inhibitor of the reaction.
