Description and Uses

Lanosterol is a naturally-occurring sterol and biosynthetic precursor of several animal, fungal, and protozoan steroids, including cholesterol and ergosterol. Defects in the processing of lanosterol contribute to a wide variety of disorders, including the formation of cataracts. Similarly, certain fungicides act by blocking lanosterol processing by fungi.

Lanosterol has been used:

  • as a standard in HPLC for the quantification in testis samples
  • in S-adenosyl-L-methionine:Δ24-sterol-C-methyltransferase (SMT) assay
  • to treat wild-type cells growing in rich medium to know its effects on Sre1 protein
