Zymosterol

Zymosterol is a lipid of Sterol Lipids (ST) class. Zymosterol is associated with abnormalities such as Congenital Abnormality, Coronary Arteriosclerosis, Liver diseases, Alzheimer's Disease and Virus Diseases. The involved functions are known as Process, enzyme activity, Anabolism, Transcription, Genetic and Synthesis. Zymosterol often locates in Cytosol, Mitochondria, Articular system, Protoplasm and Tissue membrane. The associated genes with Zymosterol are Genome, Homologous Gene, Amino Acids, Acidic, Peptide Fragments and DLC1 gene. The related lipids are zymosterol, Cardiolipins, 25-azacholesterol, Sterols and Steroids. The related experimental models are Knock-out.
