Use of Dehydroergosterol

Dehydroergosterol is a naturally occurring fluorescent analog of cholesterol (ex/em = 324/375 nm) that mimics the properties of cholesterol in cell membranes. [1] It is readily bound by cholesterol-binding proteins and has been used to probe the sterol environment in real time and elucidate intracellular sterol transport in organisms. [1] References: [1]. McIntosh, AL, Atshaves, BP, Huang, H., et al. A Fluorescent Technique to Study Cholesterol Transport Using Dehydroergosterol. Lipids 43(12), 1185-1208 (2008).
