This gene is ubiquitously expressed and its transmembrane protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nuclear outer membrane. Mutations in this gene cause Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS); a syndrome that is metabolically characterized by reduced serum cholesterol levels and elevated serum 7-dehydrocholesterol levels and phenotypically characterized by cognitive disability, facial dysmorphism, syndactyly of second and third toes, and holoprosencephaly in severe cases to minimal physical abnormalities and near-normal intelligence in mild cases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]. * **UniProt Summary**: Production of cholesterol by reduction of C7-C8 double bond of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC). |ERG4 ERG24| |brassinosteroid biosynthetic process| |brassinosteroid metabolic process| |sterol delta7 reductase activity| |7-dehydrocholesterol reductase activity| |phytosteroid biosynthetic process| |phytosteroid metabolic process| |cholesterol biosynthetic process via lathosterol| |cholesterol biosynthetic process via desmosterol| |nuclear outer membrane| |NADP binding| |cholesterol biosynthetic process| |regulation of sterol biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol biosynthetic process| |regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process| |steroid hormone biosynthetic process| |sterol biosynthetic process| |regulation of cholesterol metabolic process| |hormone biosynthetic process| |regulation of alcohol biosynthetic process| |multicellular organism growth| |regulation of steroid biosynthetic process| |post-embryonic development| |integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |alcohol biosynthetic process| |regulation of steroid metabolic process| |cholesterol metabolic process| |steroid biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol metabolic process| |sterol metabolic process| |lung development| |respiratory tube development| |organic hydroxy compound biosynthetic process| |regulation of lipid biosynthetic process| |respiratory system development| |hormone metabolic process| |steroid metabolic process| |alcohol metabolic process| |developmental growth| |growth| |regulation of lipid metabolic process| |regulation of small molecule metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |blood vessel development| |vasculature development| |cardiovascular system development| |regulation of hormone levels| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |tube development| |circulatory system development| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |oxidation-reduction process| |endoplasmic reticulum| |lipid metabolic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |small molecule metabolic process| |membrane| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp155|UNC1999 2μM R03 exp155]]|-2.06| |[[:results:exp363|GSK-J4 1-1.25μM to day4 R07 exp363]]|-1.77| |[[:results:exp529|Thimerosal 0.85μM R08 exp529]]|1.7| |[[:results:exp190|Vincristine 0.0005μM R04 exp190]]|1.78| |[[:results:exp212|Phenformin 20μM R05 exp212]]|1.86| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
