    Product Description

    Epicholesterol-d6 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of epicholesterol by GC- or LC-MS. Epicholesterol is an epimer of cholesterol (Item Nos. 9003100 | 39088 | 39448), where the C-3 hydroxyl group is in the α configuration.1 It has been used to study the stereospecific effects of cholesterol on antibody recognition and receptor function.2,3 Epicholesterol has also been used to study the interactions of cholesterol-containing membranes with stereoisomeric ligands.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
