Use of DehydroergosterolDehydroergosterol is a naturally occurring fluorescent analog of cholesterol (ex/em = 324/375 nm) that mimics the properties of cholesterol in cell membranes. [1] It is readily bound by cholesterol-binding proteins and has been used to probe the sterol environment in real time and elucidate intracellular sterol transport in organisms. [1] References: [1].
