Description

MedChemExpress Cholesterol is the major sterol in mammals and is makes up 20-25% of structural component of the plasma membrane.

Plasma membranes are highly permeable to water but relatively impermeable to ions and protons. Cholesterol plays an important role in determining the fluidity and permeability characteristics of the membrane as well as the function of both the transporters and signaling proteins. Cholesterol is also an endogenous estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) agonist.
