Requires ATP. The reaction in mammals possibly involves dehydrogenation to give a 24(25)-double bond followed by hydration [1]. However, in amphibians such as the Oriental fire-bellied toad (Bombina orientalis), it is probable that the product is formed via direct hydroxylation of the saturated side chain of (25R)-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholestan-26-oate and not via hydration of a 24(25) double bond [5]. In microsomes, the free acid is preferred to the coenzyme A ester, whereas in mitochondria, the coenzyme A ester is preferred to the free-acid form of the substrate [1].
