  <name>4alpha-Methylfecosterol</name>
  <description>Minor constituent of yeast and constituent of wheat germ oil (Triticum aestivum)

4alpha-Methylfecosterol is involved in the biosynthesis of steroids.  4alpha-Methylfecosterol is converted from delta8,14 -Sterol by delta14-sterol reductase [EC:1.3.1.70].  4alpha-Methylfecosterol is converted to 24-Methylene lophenol by cholestenol delta-isomerase [EC:5.3.3.5]. 4alpha-Methylfecosterol is found in wheat and cereals and cereal products.</description>
