Product Name:LANOSTEROL CAS: 79-63-0
Formula: The chemical formula for lanosterol is C30H50O.
Description: Lanosterol is a sterol compound, a type of lipid molecule, found in the cells of various organisms including plants, animals, and fungi. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature.
Category: Lanosterol belongs to the class of compounds known as sterols, which are important components of cell membranes and serve various biological functions.
Use: Lanosterol is primarily involved in the biosynthesis of other sterols, including cholesterol and steroid hormones. It is an intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of sterols, starting from acetyl-CoA and ending with cholesterol. In recent years, research has focused on the potential role of lanosterol in the treatment of certain eye disorders, particularly cataracts, although further studies are needed to fully understand its therapeutic potential in this regard.
Dosage & Administration: As of my last update, there are no established dosage recommendations for lanosterol supplementation due to limited clinical research on its therapeutic use. Any potential therapeutic applications would require further study to determine appropriate dosage and administration methods.
Appearance: Lanosterol is typically found as a white to pale yellow solid.
Package Size: The package size of lanosterol would depend on its intended use, whether for research purposes or potential therapeutic applications. It may be available in small quantities for laboratory research or in larger quantities for industrial purposes.
