Cholesterol Biosynthesis Stage 4 Conversion of Lanosterol to Cholesterol

The video tutorial explains the process of cholesterol synthesis, starting from the generation of mevalonic acid to the conversion of lanosterol into mature cholesterol. It highlights the differences between lanosterol and cholesterol, focusing on the removal of methyl groups and the repositioning of double bonds. The tutorial also covers the generation of xima sterile and the role of various enzymes, such as 24 reductase and isomerase, in the pathway. Additionally, it discusses the significance of 7-dehydrocholesterol in vitamin D synthesis and the various functions of cholesterol, including its role in bile acid and steroid production, as well as membrane stabilization.
