Dehydroergosterol is a fluorescent cholesterol analog (Ex/Em = 325/375 nm) used in cholesterol transport, membrane structure research, and live-cell imaging. Unlike cholesterol, Dehydroergosterol contains three additional double bonds, an extra methyl group, and an ergosterol side chain, forming a conjugated system that produces intrinsic fluorescence. In its monomeric form, Dehydroergosterol exhibits excitation peaks at 310-311, 324, and 338-340 nm, as well as emission peaks at 354, 371-375, 390-394, and 414 nm; in its microcrystalline form, Dehydroergosterol shows enhanced excimer emission around 404 and 426 nm. Dehydroergosterol mimics the properties of cholesterol, integrates into membranes and lipoproteins, and localizes to organelles .
