Phytoene (FY-toe-een) is a 40-carbon intermediate in the biosynthesis of carotenoids. The synthesis of phytoene is the first committed step in the synthesis of carotenoids in plants. Phytoene is produced […]

7-Dehydrodesmosterol (or cholesta-5724-trien-3-beta-ol) is a cholesterol intermediate.

Zymosterol is a cholesterol intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis.. Disregarding some intermediate compounds (e.g. 4-4-dimethylzymosterol) lanosterol can be considered a precursor of zymosterol in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. The conversion […]

Desmosterol is a molecule similar to cholesterol. It is accumulated in desmosterolosis. In 2014 it was named the Molecule of the Year 2012 by the International Society for Molecular and […]

Lathosterol is a cholesterol-like molecule. Sterol-C5-desaturase-like acts upon it. It is accumulated in lathosterolosis.

Sizofiran is a beta-glucan also known as schizophyllan and abbreviated as SPG in many papers. It is a polysaccharide consisting of repeating β(1→3)-linked D-glucose units with occasional β(1→6)-branches. This generates […]
