Not to be confused with Epiestriol.

Episterol is a sterol involved in the biosynthesis of steroids. Episterol is synthesized from 24-methylenelophenol. Episterol is converted to 5-dehydroepisterol by ERG3, the C-5 sterol desaturase in the yeast.[1] Episterol is also known to be a precursor to ergosterol.
