- Description
- Exhibits oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Predicted to be involved in brassinosteroid biosynthetic process and cholesterol biosynthetic process. Predicted to localize to integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Is expressed in alar plate midbrain region; digestive system; optic tectum; optic vesicle; and retina. Orthologous to human DHCR7 (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase).
