Have you ever heard of a cow that activated ergosterol?"

Animal cells contain cholesterol instead of ergosterol and so they are much less susceptible.

Ergosterol does not occur in plant or animal cells.

D is not produced by green land plants or vertebrates, because they lack the precursor ergosterol.

Lanosterol can then be converted into other steroids such as cholesterol and ergosterol.

It is a target for antifungal drugs, inhibiting the production of ergosterol.

Jimmy, I'm not sure about this activated ergosterol.

Then, two methyl groups are removed, making ergosterol.

They block the manufacture of ergosterol, a crucial material of the yeast cell wall.

In plants vitamin D is called vitamin D2 or ergosterol.

Research has shown ergosterol may have antitumor properties.

Without ergosterol, the yeast cell wall becomes leaky and the yeast die.

Other components are common sterol derivatives (fucosterol, ergosterol and cholesterol).

Ergocalciferol is produced in fungi synthetically through irradiation of ergosterol.

Vitamin D (ergocalciferol) is produced in a similar way using ergosterol from yeast or mushrooms as a starting material.

Lacking ergosterol, the cell membranes increase in permeability, allowing their contents to leak out.

The predominant sterol in fungal cell membranes is ergosterol.

This is because oxygen is important in the synthesis of cell "survival factors" such as ergosterol and lanosterol.

Also known to be present are various steroids, namely ergosterol, episterol, fecosterol and lichesterol.

Ergocalciferol is created when ultraviolet light activates ergosterol.

Its structure was determined in 1954 by comparison with a sample that was chemically synthesized from ergosterol.

And Amanda would answer, "The label states that this carton contains activated ergosterol.

It is a steroid demethylation inhibitor, specifically inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis.

Changes in membrane permeability caused by ergosterol depletion are incompatible with fungal growth and survival.

It specifically inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol and other sterols required for cell membrane production.
