DHCR24 (Delta(24)-sterol Reductase, 24-dehydrocholesterol Reductase, 3-beta-hydroxysterol delta-24-reductase, Diminuto/Dwarf1 Homolog, Seladin-1, KIAA0018) (Biotin)

DHCR24 is a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent oxidoreductase which catalyzes the reduction of the delta-24 double bond of sterol intermediates during cholesterol biosynthesis. This 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 its gene occurs in the temporal cortex of Alzheimer disease patients and overexpression has been observed in adrenal gland cancer cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended...
