Product Overview
Description:
Zymosterol functions as an essential biosynthetic precursor to cholesterol, exhibiting a metabolic pathway wherein it sequentially accumulates within the plasma membrane of fibroblasts and translocates to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during active endogenous cholesterol synthesis.
