Cycloartenol acetate

CAS: 1259-10-5

Cycloartenol acetate is a natural triterpenoid, which is primarily derived from plant sources. It serves as a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of sterols, crucial components of plant cell membranes. The compound is synthesized in the plant's cellular systems through the cyclization process from 2,3-oxidosqualene, utilizing cycloartenol synthase enzymes. This enzymatic modification marks the diverging point between plant sterol and steroid biosynthesis pathways, distinguishing it from similar pathways in animals and fungi.
