picture info	Cholesterol Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body Tissue (biology), tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in Animal fat, animal fats and oils. Cholesterol is biosynthesis, biosynthesized by all animal Cell (biology)#Eukaryotic cells, cells and is an essential structural and cholesterol signaling, signaling component of animal cell membranes. In vertebrates, hepatocyte, hepatic cells typically produce the greatest amounts. In the brain, astrocytes produce cholesterol and transport it to neurons. It is absent among prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), although there are some exceptions, such as ''Mycoplasma'', which require cholesterol for growth. Cholesterol also serves as a Precursor (chemistry), precursor for the biosynthesis of steroid hormones, bile acid and vitamin D. Elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood, especially when bound to low-density lipoprotein (LDL, often referred to as "bad cholesterol"), may increase the risk of ...

	Cholestenol Cholestenol refers to any sterol compound that differs from cholestane by the addition of a double bond and an alcohol group. By the definition of sterols, the alcohol group appears at the C-3 position; the position of the double bond is not fixed. * Allocholesterol is Δ-4-Cholestenol. * Cholesterol is Δ5-cholestenol. ** Epicholesterol is an epimer, 3α-Cholesterol. * Lathosterol is Δ7-cholestenol. It has been found in the skins of rats. It can be converted to cholesterol Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body Tissue (biology), tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in Animal fat, animal fats and oils.

	Zymostenol Zymostenol is an intermediate compound in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other sterols. It is formed during the conversion of lanosterol to cholesterol, a critical metabolic pathway in animals, fungi, and some protozoa. Biosynthesis Zymostenol is produced from 14-demethyl lanosterol via the action of sterol Δ8,7-sterol isomerase ( emopamil binding protein, EBP). This step is part of the Bloch pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, where zymostenol is further converted to zymosterol Zymosterol is an intermediate in cholesterol biosynthesis. Disregarding some intermediate compounds (e.g. 4-4-dimethylzymosterol), lanosterol can be considered a precursor of zymosterol in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. The conversion of zymos ... and then to 7-dehydrocholesterol, a direct precursor to cholesterol. References {{Cholesterol and steroid intermediates Sterols Triterpenes Cyclopropanes ...

picture info	Molecular Formula A chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and ''plus'' (+) and ''minus'' (−) signs. These are limited to a single typographic line of symbols, which may include subscripts and superscripts. A chemical formula is not a chemical name since it does not contain any words. Although a chemical formula may imply certain simple chemical structures, it is not the same as a full chemical structural formula. Chemical formulae can fully specify the structure of only the simplest of molecules and chemical substances, and are generally more limited in power than chemical names and structural formulae. The simplest types of chemical formulae are called '' empirical formulae'', which use letters and numbers indicating the numerical ''proportions'' of atoms of ...
