description Product Description
Used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as a precursor for the synthesis of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) through UV irradiation. It serves as a biomarker for fungal contamination in food and environmental samples due to its presence in fungal cell membranes. Also utilized in research settings to study membrane biology and sterol function in eukaryotic cells. Additionally, ergosterol is a target for antifungal drugs, making it important in the development and testing of antifungal agents.
