<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Ergosterol&#039;&#039;&#039; (ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol) is a [[sterol#Types|mycosterol]] found in [[cell membrane]]s of [[fungus|fungi]] and [[protozoa]], serving many of the same functions that [[cholesterol]] serves in [[animal]] [[cell (biology)|cell]]s. Because many fungi and protozoa cannot survive without ergosterol, the [[enzyme]]s that synthesize it have become important targets for [[drug discovery]]. In human nutrition, ergosterol is a [[provitamin]] form of [[ergocalciferol|vitamin D&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;]]; exposure to [[ultraviolet]] (UV) light causes a chemical reaction that produces [[ergocalciferol|vitamin D&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;]].</div>
