Product Overview
Description:
FF-MAS is a crucial lipophilic intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway downstream of lanosterol that accumulates at high concentrations within ovarian follicular fluid. This endogenous sterol preserves oocyte survival, enhances cytoplasmic maturation in immature germ cells, and drives meiotic maturation forward to metaphase II, thereby boosting successful in vitro fertilization rates and embryo quality.
Synonyms:
(3β,5α)-4,4-dimethyl-cholesta-8,14,24-trien-3-ol; Follicular Fluid Meiosis-activating Sterol; 4,4-dimethylcholesta-8,14,24-trienol; 4,4-diMeChol-8,14,24-trienol; follicular fluid meiosis activating sterol; 64284-64-6
CAS No.:
64284-64-6
