Sterol content in sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.) as affected by genotypes and environmental conditions [PDF]

, 2010
Phytosterols play essential roles in many plant cell mechanisms. They are of industrial interest since, as part of the diet, they can reduce Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol.

Neutral glycolipids of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa:altered expression in plant defensin-resistant mutants

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
To defend themselves against fungal pathogens, plants produce numerous antifungal proteins and peptides, including defensins, some of which have been proposed to interact with fungal cell surface glycosphingolipid components.

Niemann-Pick type C proteins promote microautophagy by expanding raft-like membrane domains in the yeast vacuole

eLife, 2017
Niemann-Pick type C is a storage disease caused by dysfunction of NPC proteins, which transport cholesterol from the lumen of lysosomes to the limiting membrane of that compartment.

Kinetic modelling of sterol transport between plasma membrane and endo-lysosomes based on quantitative fluorescence and X-ray imaging data

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Niemann Pick type C1 and C2 (NPC1 and NPC2) are two sterol-binding proteins which, together, orchestrate cholesterol transport through late endosomes and lysosomes (LE/LYSs).

Sterol concentration and distribution in sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.) during seed development [PDF]

, 2010
Sunflower seeds are currently used for edible oil production. Among oil minor compounds, phytosterols are of special interest due to their cholesterol reducing properties.

The effects of sterol structure upon sterol esterification [PDF]

Atherosclerosis, 2010
Cholesterol is esterified in mammals by two enzymes: LCAT (lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase) in plasma and ACAT(1) and ACAT(2) (acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferases) in the tissues. We hypothesized that the sterol structure may have significant effects on the outcome of esterification by these enzymes.

Solid phase extraction of β-sitosterol and α-tocopherol from sunflower oil deodorizer distillate using desilicated zeolite

Grasas y Aceites, 2020
In this study, the efficiency of using zeolite-based adsorbents in a solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure of α-tocopherol and β-sitosterol isolation from Sunflower Oil Deodorizer Distillate (SuDOD) with­out pre-treatment was investigated.

Metabolism and Biological Activities of 4-Methyl-Sterols

Molecules, 2019
4,4-Dimethylsterols and 4-methylsterols are sterol biosynthetic intermediates (C4-SBIs) acting as precursors of cholesterol, ergosterol, and phytosterols.
