|Section2= |Section3= }} Lanosterol is a tetracyclic triterpenoid and is the compound from which all animal and fungi steroids are derived. By contrast plant steroids are produced via cycloartenol. ==Role in creation of steroids== Elaboration of lanosterol under enzyme catalysis leads to the core structure of steroids. 14-Demethylation of lanosterol by CYP51 eventually yields cholesterol. Recent research suggests that lanosterol might be instrumental in prevention of formation of cataracts in mammals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lanosterol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
