General description

Campesterol 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.

Application

Campesterol may be used as a plant sterol to test its effect on the transcriptional activation of liver X receptor α (LXRA) in breast cancer cells. It may also be used as a sterol standard for calibration curve generation in liquid chromatography multiple reaction monitoring (LC-MRM) analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Campesterol reduces the levels of chylomicron, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-apoB100. A high ratio of campesterol to sitosterol enhances fiber elongation in cotton fibres.
