General description

Alkyne cholesterol is used to trace cholesterol metabolism and localization.
This reagent is a modified lipid containing an omega-terminal alkyne. The terminal alkyne group can be used in a highly specific linking reaction with azide-containing reagents, known as ‘click chemistry′, in the presence of a copper (Cu)-containing catalyst.

Biochem/physiol Actions

27-alkyne cholesterol acts similar to natural sterols such as, ergosterol and cholesterol.
