7β-Hydroxy Cholesterol(CAT: R009253) is a chemically modified derivative of cholesterol, a crucial sterol in animal cell membranes and a precursor to essential compounds such as steroid hormones and bile acids. The presence of a hydroxyl group at the 7β position suggests a specific alteration to cholesterol’s structure, potentially impacting its biological activity or metabolic pathways.
