General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
1.3.1.72 metabolism desmosterol suffice as a cholesterol replacement. Although a wide range of sterols and cholesterol analogues such as beta-sitosterol, ergosterol and 5beta-cholestan-3beta-ol are unable to support cell proliferation, 5alpha-cholestan-3beta-ol, i.e. dihydrocholesterol, and desmosterol can Mus musculus
1.3.1.72 additional information J774 cells, that lack a full-length transcript for DHCR24, consequently accumulate desmosterol Mus musculus
1.3.1.72 additional information while cholesterol itself may not be unique in its ability to sustain mammalian life, sterols very much like cholesterol, such as desmosterol, appear to be absolutely required Mus musculus
