7β-Hydroxycholesterol (Standard)

7β-Hydroxycholesterol (Standard) is the analytical standard of 7β-Hydroxycholesterol. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 7β-Hydroxycholesterol is an oxysterol that derived by the oxidation of cholesterol. 7β-hydroxycholesterol can induce cellular oxidative stress, apoptosis, and necrosis, resulting in cytotoxicity. 7β-hydroxycholesterol has antitumor activity[1][2][3][4].
