	'''7-Dehydrocholesterol''' ('''7-DHC''') is a [[zoosterol]] that functions in the [[blood plasma\|serum]] as a [[cholesterol]] precursor, and is [[photochemically]] converted to [[Cholecalciferol\|vitamin D<sub>3</sub>]] in the [[skin]], therefore functioning as [[provitamin]]-D<sub>3</sub>. The presence of this compound in human skin enables humans to manufacture vitamin D<sub>3</sub> ([[cholecalciferol]]). Upon exposure to [[ultraviolet]] UV-B rays in the sun light, 7-DHC is converted into vitamin D<sub>3</sub> via [[Previtamin D3\|previtamin D<sub>3</sub>]] as an intermediate [[isomer]]. It is also found in the [[milk]] of several mammalian species. [[Lanolin]], a waxy substance that is naturally secreted by wool-bearing mammals, contains 7-DHC which is converted into vitamin D by sunlight and then ingested during grooming as a nutrient. In insects 7-dehydrocholesterol is a precursor for the hormone [[ecdysone]], required for reaching adulthood. It was discovered by Nobel-laureate organic chemist [[Adolf Windaus]].

	It is synthesized from [[lathosterol]] by the enzyme [[lathosterol oxidase]] (lathosterol 5-desaturase). This is the next-to-last step of cholesterol biosynthesis.

	The skin consists of two primary layers: an inner layer, the [[dermis]], comprising largely [[connective tissue]], and an outer, thinner [[Epidermis (skin)\|epidermis]]. The thickness of the epidermis ranges from 0.08 mm to greater than 0.6 mm (from 0.003 to 0.024 inches). The epidermis comprises five ''strata''; from outer to inner, they are the [[stratum corneum]], [[stratum lucidum]], [[stratum granulosum]], [[stratum spinosum]], and [[stratum basale]]. The highest concentrations of 7-dehydrocholesterol are found in the epidermal layer of skin—specifically in the stratum basale and stratum spinosum. The production of pre-vitamin D<sub>3</sub> is, therefore, greatest in these two layers.

	==Radiation==		==Radiation==
	Synthesis of pre-vitamin D<sub>3</sub> in the skin involves [[UVB radiation]], which effectively penetrates only the epidermal layers of skin. 7-Dehydrocholesterol absorbs UV light most effectively at [[wavelength]]s between 295 and 300 [[nanometer\|nm]] and, thus, the production of vitamin D<sub>3</sub> will occur primarily at those wavelengths. The two most important factors that govern the generation of pre-vitamin D<sub>3</sub> are the quantity (intensity) and quality (appropriate wavelength) of the UVB irradiation reaching the 7-dehydrocholesterol deep in the stratum basale and stratum spinosum. Light-emitting diodes ([[LED]]s) can be used to produce the radiation.

	Another important consideration is the quantity of 7-dehydrocholesterol present in the skin. Under normal circumstances, ample quantities of 7-dehydrocholesterol (about 25–50 [[microgram\|μg]]/cm<sup>2</sup> of skin) are available in the [[stratum spinosum]] and [[stratum basale]] of human skin to meet the body's vitamin D requirements. 7-DHC insufficiency has been proposed as an alternate cause for Vitamin D deficiency.
