i-Cholesteryl methyl ether (CAS 2867-93-8)
QUICK LINKS
i-Cholesteryl methyl ether is a compound that functions as a cholesterol analog in experimental applications. It is used to investigate the interactions of cholesterol and its derivatives with various biological systems. i-Cholesteryl methyl ether is known to mimic the behavior of cholesterol in cellular membranes. i-Cholesteryl methyl ether interacts with membrane proteins and lipid bilayers, influencing their organization and dynamics. By serving as a cholesterol surrogate, i-Cholesteryl methyl ether enables insights into the role of cholesterol in cellular processes without directly using cholesterol itself. I-Cholesteryl Methyl Ether′s mechanism of action involves modulating membrane properties and influencing the behavior of cholesterol-dependent proteins, making it useful for studying the impact of cholesterol on biological systems.
