Simplified scheme of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway featuring the shunt pathway

Simplified scheme of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway featuring the shunt pathway. In the shunt pathway SQLE acts a second time to lead to the production of a potent oxysterol regulator, 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol. The oxygen atoms from the epoxidation are shown in red
