## Molecular Mechanism and Rationale CYP46A1, the rate-limiting enzyme for brain cholesterol elimination, converts cholesterol to 24S-hydroxycholesterol, facilitating its efflux across the blood-brain barrier and maintaining neuronal cholesterol homeostasis. In aging microglia, accumulated cholesterol disrupts membrane lipid raft organization, leading to aberrant clustering and hyperactivation of TREM2 receptors, which normally function as damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) sensors. Thi
**CYP46A1 Overexpression Gene Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease** **Overview and Rationale** Cholesterol homeostasis in the brain is a critical factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Unlike peripheral tissues, the brain maintains autonomous cholesterol metabolism due to the blood-brain barrier preventing lipoprotein exchange. Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) is the rate-limiting enzyme for brain cholesterol elimination, converting cholesterol to 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24-OHC), whi
