Cycloartenol is an important triterpenoid often found in plants. It belongs to the sterol class of steroids. It is the starting point for the synthesis of almost all plant steroids,{{cite journal|last1=Schaller|first1=Hubert|title=The role of sterols in plant growth and development|journal=Progress in Lipid Research|date=May 2003|volume=42|issue=3|pages=163–175|doi=10.1016/S0163-7827(02)00047-4| pmid=12689617 }} making them chemically distinct from the steroids of fungi and animals, which are, instead, produced from lanosterol.
