Common NameLathosterol
DescriptionLathosterol is a a sterol (a combination steroid and alcohol) and a lipid found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. It is used as an indicator of whole-body cholesterol synthesis (PMID 14511438 ). Plasma lathosterol levels are significantly elevated in patients with bile acid malabsorption (PMID: 8777839 ). Lathosterol oxidase (EC 1.14.21.6) Is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 5alpha-cholest-7-en-3beta-ol + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 cholesta-5,7-dien-3beta-ol + NAD(P)+ + 2 H2O.
