CAS 57-88-5

Cholesterol

Description:

Cholesterol is a sterol, a type of lipid molecule that is essential for various biological functions in the body. It is a waxy, fat-like substance found in every cell, playing a crucial role in maintaining cell membrane integrity and fluidity. Cholesterol serves as a precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D. Its molecular formula is C27H46O, and it has a complex structure characterized by four fused hydrocarbon rings, a hydroxyl group, and a hydrocarbon tail. Cholesterol is insoluble in water, which necessitates its transport in the bloodstream via lipoproteins. While it is vital for health, imbalances in cholesterol levels can lead to cardiovascular diseases, with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) often referred to as "good" cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) as "bad" cholesterol. The CAS number 57-88-5 uniquely identifies cholesterol in chemical databases, facilitating its study and application in various fields, including medicine and biochemistry.

Applications Cholesterol is a major component of all biological membranes; ~25% of total brain lipid is Cholesterol. Cholesterol is the principal sterol of the higher animals. Cholesterol was found in all body tissues, especial in the brain, spinal cord, and in animal fats or oils. Cholesterol is the main constituent of gallstones. This compound is a contaminant of emerging concern (CECs).
