General description
Campesterol-d6 is the deuterated form of campesterol. It is a plant sterol, which is an analog of cholesterol and a brassinosteroid (BR) precursor. The enzyme diminute/dwarf1 mediates the synthesis of campesterol from 24-methylenecholesterol. Campesterol possesses methyl group at C-24 position of the side chain in the cholesterol structure. It is not synthesized in mammanls and is diet derived
Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
Campesterol reduces the levels of chylomicron. The d6-campesterol along with d6-sitosterol and d6-cholesterol has been used in the transport blood-brain barrier studies in human brain endothelial hCMEC/D3 monolayer cells. Campesterol is a biomarker for tracking cholesterol synthesis and absorption. Campesterol like cholesterol is catabolized by intestinal microbes. It possess chemopreventive functionality prostate and breast tumors. Campesterol also has antiangiogenic property and may be useful in treating disorders related to angiogenesis.
