  • Applications

    Gorgosterol, CAS 29782-65-8, is used as a reference and analytical standard for marine sterols in lipid research and quantitative analysis (e.g., GC/LC-MS). It may serve as a synthetic intermediate or precursor in steroid synthesis for pharmaceutical research. As a naturally occurring sterol, it may function as a skin-conditioning or lipid-replacing component in cosmetic and personal care formulations. In research contexts, it supports studies of lipid metabolism and membrane lipid biology, providing a molecular proxy for marine sterol pathways.
