Gene information for SC5D (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6309
Official gene symbolSC5D
Full namesterol-C5-desaturase (ERG3 delta-5-desaturase homolog, S. cerevisiae)-like
Aliases,ERG3,S5DES,SC5DL,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. 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]
