• Synonyme: 9,19-Cyclo-9beta-lanost-24-en-3beta-ol
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Cycloartenol is a triterpenoid alcohol, which serves as a precursor in the biosynthesis of sterols. It is primarily derived from plant sources, as it plays a central role in the sterol synthesis pathway in higher plants. The mode of action of cycloartenol involves its conversion into various phytosterols through enzyme-catalyzed reactions, a process that is crucial for the formation of membrane lipids and signaling molecules in plants.
