Oxysterol

Oxysterol: Oxysterols are oxidized derivatives of cholesterol, which are important in many biological processes, including cholesterol homeostasis, sphingolipid metabolism, platelet aggregation, apoptosis, and protein prenylation.^[1]

Some examples of oxysterols include:

KEGG Compound C02799

KEGG Compound C03587
