Dehydroergosterol
Biochemical Assay Reagent
Dehydroergosterol is a naturally occurring fluorescent sterol analog that serves as a biochemical assay reagent, exhibiting excitation and emission wavelengths of 325 nm and 375 nm, respectively. This compound mimics cholesterol in cellular membranes, allowing for real-time imaging when conjugated with cholesterol-binding proteins. It is an effective tool for studying the sterol environment and elucidating intracellular sterol transport dynamics in live cells.
