Lathosterol

Overview

Lathosterol is an intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, featuring a tetracyclic sterol backbone with unique double bond positioning that distinguishes it from cholesterol itself. Researchers value lathosterol as a metabolic marker for sterol synthesis and as a functional lipid influencing membrane order and rigidity. In formulation studies, it has been investigated for its ability to alter bilayer organization and provide insight into sterol–lipid interactions, making it relevant for designing lipid-based carriers and studying membrane biophysics.
