Product Information

• Name: Desmosterol
• Synonyms: 3b-Cholesta-5,24-dien-3-ol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3b-Cholesta-5,24-dien-3-ol is a natural product that has been shown to be active against autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases. 3b-Cholesta-5,24-dien-3-ol inhibits the activity of the ATP binding cassette transporter (ABC) in human cells. ABC is a protein that transports molecules across cell membranes, which may play an important role in the development of autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases. 3b-Cholesta-5,24-dien-3-ol binds to cholesterol and phosphorus pentoxide to form an intermediate complex with ATP. This complex is then broken down into desmosterol and atp which can't bind to ABC anymore.
