'''Zymosterol''' is a [[cholesterol]] intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis.. Disregarding some intermediate compounds (e.g. 4-4-dimethylzymosterol) [[lanosterol]] can be considered a precursor of zymosterol in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. The conversion of zymosterol into cholesterol happens in the [[endoplasmic reticulum]]. Zymosterol accumulates quickly in the plasma membrane coming from the [[cytosol]]. The movement of zymosterol across the cytosol is more than twice as fast as the movement of cholesterol itself.
