Ergosterol Acetate (CAS 2418-45-3)
QUICK LINKS
Ergosterol acetate, a derivative of the sterol ergosterol found in various organisms, has garnered extensive attention for its potential applications in scientific research. This white, crystalline solid exhibits solubility in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. Its versatility has been harnessed in diverse laboratory experiments exploring cell membrane structure and enzyme activity. Acting as a substrate for the enzyme sterol acetyltransferase (SAT), ergosterol acetate plays a role in the synthesis of cholesterol from ergosterol. The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the sterol molecule, leading to cholesterol formation, subsequently incorporating into cell membranes. Moreover, ergosterol acetate can also function as an enzyme inhibitor, facilitating the study of its activity.
