lanosterol

InvivoChem Cat #:V4973CAS #:79-63-0Purity >=98%

Description: Lanosterol, a naturally-occurring triterpenoid derivative, is a key imtermediate in the biosynthesis of Cholesterol. Lanosterol is metabolized to Cholesterol and Cucurbitacins. Lanosterol is a naturally-occurring sterol and biosynthetic precursor of several animal, fungal, and protozoan steroids, including cholesterol and ergosterol. Defects in the processing of lanosterol contribute to a wide variety of disorders, including the formation of cataracts. Similarly, certain fungicides act by blocking lanosterol processing by fungi.
