7-dehydrocholesterol is a zoosterol that functions in the serum as a cholesterol precursor, and is converted to vitamin d3 in the skin, therefore functioning as provitamin-d3. the presence of this compound in human skin enables humans to manufacture vitamin d3 from ultra-violet rays in the sun light, via an intermediate isomer pre-vitamin d3. it is also found in the milk of several mammalian species. in insects it is a precursor for the hormone ecdysone, required for reaching adulthood.it was discovered by nobel-laureate organic chemist adolf windaus
synthesis of pre-vitamin d3 in the skin involves uvb radiation which effectively penetrates only the epidermal layers of skin. 7-dehydrocholesterol absorbs uv light most effectively at wavelengths between 290-320nm and thus the production of vitamin d3 will only occur at those wavelengths. the two most important factors that govern the generation of pre-vitamin d3 are the quantity (intensity) and quality (appropriate wavelength) of the uvb irradiation reaching the 7-dehydrocholesterol deep in the stratum basale and stratum spinosum.[4] another important consideration is the quantity of 7-dehydrocholesterol present in the skin. under normal circumstances, ample quantities of 7-dehydrocholesterol (about 25-50 mg/cm2 of skin) are available in the stratum spinosum and stratum basale of human skin to meet the body's vitamin d requirements.
usage:
1. important intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin d3
2. skin sunscreen additive in cosmetics
3. other laboratory reagents
