Description

General description

Zymosterol acts as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cholesterol from lanosterol.

Application

• The ATPase activity of ABCA1 is increased by cholesterol in the presence of anionic lipids.: This study investigates the modulation of ATPase activity by cholesterol and anionic lipids, with a focus on the role of zymosterol in this biochemical pathway. The findings contribute to our understanding of lipid transport mechanisms and their implications in metabolic syndromes, emphasizing the potential therapeutic targets within these pathways (Sakata K et al., 2024).


• Effects of continuous intravenous infusion with propofol on intestinal metabolites in rats.: This research utilizes zymosterol as a biomarker to study the effects of propofol on intestinal metabolites, providing insights into the metabolic impacts of anesthesia on lipid biosynthesis pathways. The results are crucial for optimizing anesthesia protocols and understanding their systemic effects (Li J et al., 2024).
