Which human organ is responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol?

Liver
Adipose tissue (adipocytes)
Pancreas

Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by all animals. Is the precursor for bile acids, which are synthesized by the liver and transported to the gut, where they aid in the digestion of dietary fat. In vertebrates, hepatic cells typically produce the greatest amounts. It is absent among prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea)
