Informação sobre produto

• Nome: 15-Ketocholestane
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: 15-Ketocholestane is a fatty acid that is synthesized from cholesterol in mammalian cells. It is derived from cholesterol through the action of cholesterol esterase and can be used to study cholesterol synthesis and metabolism. 15-Ketocholestane has been shown to inhibit the activity of cytosolic proteins, such as fatty acid synthase, which are involved in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. This may be due to its ability to compete with coenzyme A (CoA) for binding sites on the enzyme. 15-Ketocholestane has also been shown to inhibit the activity of oxysterols, which are intermediates in cholesterol biosynthesis, by binding to them and preventing their conversion into other products.
