7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) ELISA kits are designed for the specific detection of 7-dehydrocholesterol in biological samples. 7-Dehydrocholesterol is a compound that is metabolized in humans and can be detected in CSF, urine, and serum samples. It has the chemical formula C27H44O and belongs to the cholesterols and derivatives class of molecules. 7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) functions in the serum as a cholesterol precursor and is photochemically converted to vitamin D3 in the skin. 7-DHC in human skin enables humans and other mammals to manufacture vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
