A rapid method was developed to measure cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity of hepatic microsomes by the direct determination of the mass of 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol formed. The method is based on the quantitative acetylation of the incubation mixture with [-3H]acetic anhydride and the separation of the biosynthetic 7 alpha- hydroxycholesterol as its diacetate by thin-layer chromatography on alumina. Amounts of 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol as low as 0.1 nmole could be measured. A comparison of the proposed isotope derivative method with the previously used isotope incorporation method showed that the latter underestimated the enzyme activity by about 20 percent.
