Green Microalgae Strain Improvement for the Production of Sterols and Squalene
Plants, 2021 Sterols and squalene are essential biomolecules required for the homeostasis of eukaryotic membrane permeability and fluidity. Both compounds have beneficial effects on human health. As the current sources of sterols and squalene are plant and shark oils,

Identification of twenty-three mutations in fission yeast Scap that constitutively activate SREBP*
Journal of Lipid Research, 2008 The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein SREBP cleavage-activating protein (Scap) senses sterols and regulates activation of sterol-regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), membrane-bound transcription factors that control lipid homeostasis in ...

Sterols from Thai Marine Sponge Petrosia (Strongylophora) sp. and Their Cytotoxicity
Marine Drugs, 2017 Eight new sterols (1–5 and 11–13), together with eight known compounds (6–10 and 14–16) were isolated from marine sponge Petrosia sp. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis.
