Application

Coprostan-3-ol can be used as an internal standard:
  • For the determination of total amounts of cholesterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase by GC-MS.
  • For GC-MS estimation of EpHβA (16-hydroxy-β-amyrin) content of leaves expressing SAD1 and CYP51H10 genes with a green fluorescent protein.

It has been used as an internal standard for the determination of total amounts of cholesterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase by GC/MS.

General description

Coprostan-3-ol is a cholesterol derivative that can be prepared from 5β-cholestan-3-one via reduction.
