Zymosterone
Zymosterone is converted into zymosterol, an intermediate in cholesterol synthesis, through the action of the enzyme hydroxysteroid (17β) dehydrogenase 7 (HSD17B7), and this transformation, catalyzed by 3-keto sterol reductase (ERG27), plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of ergosterol in yeast.
