The encoded protein catalyzes the conversion of lathosterol into 7-dehydrocholesterol. Mutations in this gene have been associated with lathosterolosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes a dehydrogenation to introduce C5-6 double bond into lathosterol. |FA hydroxylase| |C-5 sterol desaturase activity| |cholesterol biosynthetic process via lathosterol| |cholesterol biosynthetic process via desmosterol| |cholesterol biosynthetic process| |regulation of sterol biosynthetic process| |regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol biosynthetic process| |sterol biosynthetic process| |regulation of cholesterol metabolic process| |regulation of alcohol biosynthetic process| |regulation of steroid biosynthetic process| |alcohol biosynthetic process| |regulation of steroid metabolic process| |cholesterol metabolic process| |steroid biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol metabolic process| |iron ion binding| |sterol metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound biosynthetic process| |regulation of lipid biosynthetic process| |steroid metabolic process| |alcohol metabolic process| |regulation of lipid metabolic process| |regulation of small molecule metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |oxidation-reduction process| |lipid metabolic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |small molecule metabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
