A 2D skeletal formula depicts a phytosterol with the tetracyclic cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene core, a single hydroxyl group and a branched ethyl side chain. In hierarchical context, it is a small lipid molecule incorporated into plant plasma membranes, influencing membrane fluidity. In biochemistry and nutrition, this sterol competes with dietary cholesterol in the human intestinal lumen, thereby reducing absorption and lowering LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol concentrations.
