DE   cholesterol-5,6-oxide hydrolase.
AN   ChEH.
AN   cholesterol-epoxide hydrolase.
CA   (1) 5,6alpha-epoxy-5alpha-cholestan-3beta-ol + H2O = 5alpha-cholestane-
CA   3beta,5,6beta-triol.
CA   (2) 5,6beta-epoxy-5beta-cholestan-3beta-ol + H2O = 5alpha-cholestane-
CA   3beta,5,6beta-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.
