Ergosterol

Catalog No.: A10361
Ergosterol is a sterol and a biological precursor (a provitamin) to vitamin D2. Ergosterol is a component of fungal cell membranes, serving the same function that cholesterol serves in animal cells. Because ergosterol is present in fungal cell membranes yet absent in animal cell membranes, it is a useful target for antifungal drugs. .
