DESMOSTEROL is a lipid of Sterol Lipids (ST) class. Desmosterol is associated with abnormalities such as Cataract, Congenital Abnormality, Liver diseases, Erectile dysfunction and Multiple congenital anomalies. The involved functions are known as Bulla, Methylation, cholesterol biosynthetic process, Process and cholesterol efflux. Desmosterol often locates in Body tissue, Tissue membrane, Plasma membrane, Pore and Endoplasmic Reticulum. The associated genes with DESMOSTEROL are P4HTM gene, SHH gene, WDR48 gene, CFLAR gene and SLC33A1 gene. The related lipids are Sterols, androstanol, Steroids, Unilamellar Vesicles and 7-dehydrocholesterol. The related experimental models are Transgenic Model and Rodent Model.
To understand associated biological information of DESMOSTEROL, we collected biological information of abnormalities, associated pathways, cellular/molecular locations, biological functions, related genes/proteins, lipids and common seen animal/experimental models with organized paragraphs from literatures.
DESMOSTEROL is suspected in Atherosclerosis, Congenital Abnormality, Liver diseases, Fatty Streak, Arterial, Senile Plaques, Coronary Arteriosclerosis and other diseases in descending order of the highest number of associated sentences.
