Cholesterol has a tetracyclic ring structure & has the chemical formula C27H46O. Cholesterol contributes to cell membrane fluidity, permeability & stability, properties limited to relatively inflexible plant cell walls.

Cholesterol is an essential precursor or intermediate compound mammals use to produce steroid hormones, vitamin D and bile acids. The latter are produced in the liver and are important for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K in the small intestine.

Compare cholesterol's structure to estradiol, progesterone, testosterone & cortisone.

Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Molymod atoms & bonds for 30+ years. These parts are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold. This level of quality may seem expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.

This model comes assembled but our 3D Molecular Model Builder can select the parts for cholesterol & can rotate the image so you can assemble it yourself.

Every Molymod molecular model kit sold by Indigo® Instruments is fully compatible with others you might own. If you ever lose a part you can replace it with our genuine Molymod Molecular Model Atoms & Bonds. See the entire range of Molymod Molecular Model Kits available from Indigo® Instruments.
