LATHOSTEROL Usage And Synthesis
Uses
A Cholesterol (C432501) metabolite. Lathosterol (indicating cholesterol synthesis) and Sitosterol (indicating cholesterol absorption) also decreased with deteriorating health. Low Lathosterol, Sitosterol (S497050), and Cholesterol (C432501) predicted mortality additively and independently of each other.
Uses
Lathosterol has been used as a standard for the estimation of the concentrations of cholesterol and plant sterols.
Uses
5α-Cholest-7-en-3β-ol was used as a substrate in enzymatic assay for plasma cholesterol. It was used to supplement diet of Daphnia galeata to study the effect on life-history traits.
Definition
ChEBI: A cholestanoid that is (5alpha)-cholest-7-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3.
General Description
Lathosterol is a cholesterol synthesis precursor.
Biochem/physiol Actions
5α-Cholest-7-en-3β-ol (Lathosterol) is an intermediate in cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Lathosterol in serum is carried on lipoproteins and is indicative of the rate of cholesterol synthesis. It acts as a marker of synthesis of cholesterol and is not affected by dietary consumption of cholesterol.
