Oxidative demethylation of lanosterol in cholesterol biosynthesis: accumulation of sterol intermediates.

With [3H-24,25]-dihydrolanosterol as substrate, large-scale metabolic formation of intermediates of lanosterol demethylation was carried out to identify all compounds in the metabolic process. Utilizing knowledge of electron transport of lanosterol demethylation, we interrupted the demethylation rea...
