Microbial Fermentation Ergosterol Powder CAS 57-87-4 Ergosterol

Product Description:

Ergosterol (ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol) found in fungi, and named for ergot, the common name of members of the fungal genus Claviceps from which ergosterol was first isolated. Ergosterol is a component of yeast and other fungal cell membranes, serving many of the same functions that cholesterol serves in animal cells.Its specificity in higher fungi is thought to be related to the climatic instabilities (highly varying humidity and moisture conditions) encountered by these organisms in their typical ecological niches (plant and animal surfaces, soil). Thus, despite the added energy requirements of ergosterol synthesis (if compared to cholesterol), ergosterol is thought to have evolved as a nearly ubiquitous, evolutionarily advantageous fungal alternative to cholesterol. Ergosterol, can be used in biochemical research, part of the role of vitamin D2. Ergosterol is an important part of the cell membrane of microorganisms, and it plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of the cell membrane, the activity of membrane-bound enzymes, the fluidity of the membrane, the cell viability and the transportation of cellular material. Can be used to produce cortisone. Have the effect of vitamin D2. Ergosterol is the main sterol in fungi and has antioxidant, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects.

Basic Information: 

Function of Ergosterol:

Ergosterol, also known as ergosterol. Part of the action is the same as vitamin D2. Ergosterol is an important component of microbial cell membrane, which plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of cell membrane , the activity of membrane binding enzymes, the fluidity of membrane, cell viability and cell material transport. The intermediate of hormone drugs can be used to produce cortisone. It has the effect of vitamin D2.

Application of Ergosterol:

The product can be used in the food, drink, icecream, milk shake tea, cake, superfood and healthcare products.
