Cholesterol (animal-free)
Cholesterol is a fundamental mammalian sterol constituting 20–25% of the plasma membrane, where it modulates fluidity and permeability. As an endogenous ERRα agonist and precursor for hormones and bile acids, it is integral to metabolic studies and is commonly employed in hyperlipidemia research models, both in vitro and in vivo.
