Description

General description

8(9)-dehydrocholesterol is an isomer of 7-dehydrocholesterol and non-polar oxysterol metabolite. It is oxidized to Δ8 analog by mitochondrial enzymes.

Application

8(9)-dehydrocholesterol has been used as a component of sterol standard in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for quantification of lipids from cultured cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

8(9)-dehydrocholesterol (8-DHC) elevated levels are toxic to cells and is implicated in Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS). 8-DHC profiling helps in understanding SLOS phenotype.

Packaging
