DHCR24 - 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase Gene
Also Known as DCE; SELADIN1; Nbla03646; seladin-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About DHCR24
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in adrenal (RPKM 515.3), liver (RPKM 200.4) and 12 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent oxidoreductase which catalyzes the reduction of the delta-24 double bond of sterol intermediates during Cholesterol biosynthesis. The protein contains a leader sequence that directs it to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Missense mutations in this gene have been associated with desmosterolosis. Also, reduced expression of the gene occurs in the temporal cortex of Alzheimer disease patients and overexpression has been observed in adrenal gland Cancer cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
