Desmosterol is a sterol compound with a chemical structure that includes four interconnected rings and a double bond between carbon positions 24 and 25. It is primarily formed as an intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, especially in the liver and other tissues. Desmosterol plays a structural role in cell membranes, enhancing membrane fluidity, and serves as a precursor for steroid hormones and vitamin D. Its metabolism mainly occurs in the liver, producing cholesterol and other metabolites. The metabolites of desmosterol exhibit significant biological activity in regulating lipid metabolism, cell proliferation, and immune responses. Research on desmosterol and its metabolites is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of steroid metabolism, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders, aiding in the identification of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
