Metabolite Identification
Common Namezymosterol
DescriptionZymosterol is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of both ergosterol, a major constituent of the fungal plasma membrane, and cholesterol, the homologous component in mammalian membranes. Cholesterol and ergosterol share most of their biosythetic pathway, with differences only in the part of the pathway that is downstream of zymosterol. [Biocyc PWY-6074 and PWY-6075]
