The molecule is a 3-oxo-5alpha- steroid that is zymosterol which has been substituted by a methyl group at C-4, and in which the 3-hydroxy function has been oxidised to an oxo group. It has a role as a human metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a cholestanoid and a 3-oxo-5alpha-steroid. It derives from a zymosterol.
