Go Annotations as Summary Text (Tabular View) (GO Graph)

Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)

Enables Delta24-sterol reductase activity. Involved in cholesterol biosynthetic process via desmosterol; cholesterol biosynthetic process via lathosterol; and skin development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including amyloid precursor protein catabolic process; male genitalia development; and plasminogen activation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and sensory organ. Used to study desmosterolosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in desmosterolosis and lipid metabolism disorder. Orthologous to human DHCR24 (24-dehydrocholesterol reductase).
