Cerebrosterol

Cerebrosterol is a lipid of Sterol Lipids (ST) class. Cerebrosterol is associated with abnormalities such as nervous system disorder, Neurodegenerative Disorders, Alzheimer's Disease, Senile Plaques and Hypercholesterolemia. The involved functions are known as Blood - brain barrier function, Oxidation, 5-(carboxyamino)imidazole ribonucleotide mutase activity, cholesterol biosynthetic process and Anabolism. Cerebrosterol often locates in Hepatic, Body tissue, Autosome, brain tissue surgical material and Tissue membrane. The associated genes with Cerebrosterol are CYP27A1 gene, Alleles, INS gene, Apolipoprotein E4 and PLXNB1 gene. The related lipids are Sterols, 7-dehydrocholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol, 24-hydroxycholesterol and Dehydrocholesterols. The related experimental models are Mouse Model.
