Alkyne Cholesterol

CAS: 1631985-09-5

AlkyneCholesterol is a modified lipid and serves as a click chemistry reagent containing an alkyne group. In the presence of a copper (Cu) catalyst, the terminal alkyne can engage in highly specific ligation reactions with azide-containing reagents. AlkyneCholesterol is useful for tracking cellular cholesterol metabolism and localization.

Alkyne cholesterol is a reactive molecule that is capable of producing the cholesterol acyltransferase enzyme by activating the fatty acid chain. Alkyne cholesterol is synthesized in caco2 cells and can be used as a diagnostic agent for influenza virus uptake. The enzyme produced by Alkyne cholesterol has also been shown to have localized membrane interactions, which may be due to its ability to activate membrane-bound enzymes leading to changes in lipid composition.
