2,3-Oxidosqualene (Squalene oxide) is a sterol biosynthesis precursor intermediate.2,3-Oxidosqualene participates in cyclization pathways that form sterols and triterpenes, and contributes to introduction of their characteristic 3-hydroxyl group.2,3-Oxidosqualene forms metabolically from squalene in rat liver homogenates under sterol synthesis conditions.2,3-Oxidosqualene converts to sterols including cholesterol, lathosterol, and lanost-8-en-3beta-ol in rat liver homogenates under anaerobic conditions[1].
