Description
Product Characteristics:
ERG25
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: DESP4, ERG25, SC4MOL, Methylsterol monooxygenase 1, C-4 methylsterol oxidase, MSMO1
Target Information: Sterol-C4-mehtyl oxidase-like protein was isolated based on its similarity to the yeast ERG25 protein. It contains a set of putative metal binding motifs with similarity to that seen in a family of membrane desaturases-hydroxylases. The protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is believed to function in cholesterol biosynthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
