Abstract

Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) belongs to the oxidoreductase family and catalyzes the oxidation of cholesterol compounds. ChOx produced by bacteria, streptomyces, fungi, higher plants, and insects is being used in pharmaceutical formulations, agriculture, and waste management. Nowadays, application of ChOx in the detection of clinical diseases has also been reported. The industrial use and demand for ChOx have increased due to its effective and accurate functionality of bioconversion of cholesterol compounds into enantiomerically pure compounds used in various industries. Furthermore, ChOx has also emerged as an insecticide and showed great potential in replacing conventional chemical agents used in the control of cotton pest. In this chapter, we accentuate on the structure, sources, production, and commercial applications of ChOx.
