- Description
- Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in alar plate midbrain region; digestive system; nervous system; and optic vesicle. Used to study Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Behcet's disease and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Orthologous to human DHCR7 (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase).
