Zymosterone is a biochemical reagent that targets dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). It is converted into zymosterol, an essential intermediate in cholesterol biosynthesis, through the action of hydroxysteroid (17β) dehydrogenase 7 (HSD17B7). This transformation, further catalyzed by 3-keto sterol reductase (ERG27), is critical for the biosynthesis of ergosterol in yeast, facilitating studies in lipid metabolism and cellular function.
