FTP, name this molecule transported by HDL and LDL, which can, according to the lipid hypothesis, damage heart health.
It is generated by the 14-demethylation of lanosterol, but its synthesis begins by proceeding through the mevalonate pathway, and squalene is one of its close precursors, like all steroids. It prevents the cell membrane from becoming too fluid at high temperatures while maintaining some fluidity at low temperatures, but it is best known for the associated molecules that transport it, lipoproteins.
