DHCR7 - 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as SLOS

Gene ID: 1717 | Gene type: protein coding

About DHCR7

Cytogenetic location: 11q13.4 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:71,434,411-71,448,393 (from NCBI)

This gene has 20 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 39.9), adrenal (RPKM 35.8) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes an Enzyme that removes the C(7-8) double bond in the B ring of sterols and catalyzes the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to Cholesterol. 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]
