A two-dimensional skeletal formula depicts a sterol lipid (C27H46O) with four fused hydrocarbon rings, a hydroxyl group, and a branched aliphatic side chain, representing a small-molecule component of eukaryotic cell biology. In the biological hierarchy, this molecule embeds within the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes, which compose tissues and organs, regulating membrane fluidity and permeability. In biochemistry and physiology, it serves as a metabolic precursor for steroid hormones and bile acids, with major endogenous synthesis occurring in the liver of animals.
