Metabolite Identification
Common NameSterin A
DescriptionSterin A is a metabolite classified within the chemical class of sterols. Its chemical structure features a steroid backbone, characterized by a fused four-ring system typical of sterols, which includes a hydroxyl group that contributes to its biological activity. Sterin A is involved in various metabolic pathways, including those related to lipid metabolism and cellular signaling. It has been implicated in processes such as cholesterol biosynthesis and the modulation of membrane fluidity, which are critical for maintaining cellular integrity and function. Additionally, Sterin A may play a role in the regulation of inflammatory responses and cellular proliferation, as suggested by its presence in studies examining hematological conditions and therapies (PMID:40971523 , PMID:40955622 , PMID:40223009 , PMID:39159950 , PMID:39080469 , PMID:38978000 , PMID:37046681 , PMID:35331893 , PMID:35094839 ). These pathways highlight the compound's potential relevance in both normal physiology and disease states, although its specific mechanisms of action remain an area of ongoing research.
