description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cholesterol 25-hydroxylase activity. Involved in B cell chemotaxis and negative regulation of cholesterol metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol metabolic process. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; respiratory system; and skin. Orthologous to human CH25H (cholesterol 25-hydroxylase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased IgG2a and IgA in the sera, lungs, and intestinal mucosa and increased IgG2b and IgG3 in the intestinal mucosa.
