After administration of desmosterol-26-^{14}C, the bioconversion products were investigated by using thin-layer and silver nitrate-impregnated silicic acid column chromatographies. As a bioconversion product, cholesterol-^{14}C was identified. These results suggested that the prawn, P.japonicus possesses the enzyme systems for conversion of desmosterol to cholesterol.}, pages = {15--19}, title = {Metabolism of Desmosterol in the Prawn, Penaeus japonicus}, volume = {22}, year = {1973} }
