Applications Cholesterol-3,4-13C2 (CAS# 78887-48-6) is a useful isotopically labeled research compound.

Applications 3α,6α,7α-Trihydroxy-5β-cholanic Acid is one of the bile acids categorizes under muricholic acid, a group of bile acids found in human urine due to its additional hydroxyl groups. The synthesis of 3α,6α,7α-Trihydroxy-5β-cholanic Acid was shown to be promoted due to overexpression of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase enzyme.
