Product Information
Nor-dolichol is a lipid that is a precursor for the synthesis of dolichol and other lipids. Nor-dolichol is found in the human brain, where it is concentrated in the globus pallidus and putamen. It plays an important role in the development of myelin sheaths, which are cell layers that surround nerve cells to speed up transmission of electrical signals. Nor-dolichol is also involved in lipid transport, and its deficiency may lead to severe neurological problems.
