| GO term: | cholesterol metabolic process |
| Synonym: | cholesterol metabolism |
| GO id: | GO:0008203 |
| Definition: | The chemical reactions and pathways involving cholesterol, cholest-5-en-3 beta-ol, the principal sterol of vertebrates and the precursor of many steroids, including bile acids and steroid hormones. It is a component of the plasma membrane lipid bilayer and of plasma lipoproteins and can be found in all animal tissues. |
| Number of paths to term: | 6 |
