2,3-Oxidosqualene

Overview

2,3-Oxidosqualene (Squalene oxide) is a sterol biosynthesis precursor intermediate.2,3-Oxidosqualene participates in cyclization pathways that form sterols and triterpenes , and contributes to introduction of their characteristic 3-hydroxyl group.2,3-Oxidosqualene forms metabolically from squalene in rat liver homogenates under sterol synthesis conditions.2,3-Oxidosqualene converts to sterols including cholesterol , lathosterol, and lanost-8-en-3β-ol in rat liver homogenates under anaerobic conditions.
