episterol (YMDB00540)

Identification
YMDB IDYMDB00540
Nameepisterol
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
Descriptionepisterol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ergosterols and derivatives. These are steroids containing ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3beta-ol or a derivative thereof, which is based on the 3beta-hydroxylated ergostane skeleton. Thus, episterol is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. episterol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
