Metabolite Identification
Common Name4b-Hydroxycholesterol
Description4b-Hydroxycholesterol, also known as cholest-5-en-3b,4b-diol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cholesterols and derivatives. Cholesterols and derivatives are compounds containing a 3-hydroxylated cholestane core. Thus, 4b-hydroxycholesterol is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. 4b-Hydroxycholesterol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
