Weighing approximately 39 kDa SC5DL catalyzes the conversion of lathosterol to 7-dehydrocholesterol by introducing a C5-C6 double bond in the sterol ring. This enzyme predominantly expresses in the liver but is also found in lesser amounts in other tissues such as the brain and skin.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis enzyme plays a role in the synthesis of cholesterol an essential lipid molecule for membrane structure and function. SC5DL operates within the endoplasmic reticulum often as part of a complex with other enzymes in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. This activity serves not just in producing cholesterol for cell membrane integrity but also generates precursor molecules for steroid hormone production and vitamin D synthesis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSC5DL is an integral part of the mevalonate pathway a critical metabolic pathway for cholesterol synthesis. This pathway involves multiple enzymes and SC5DL works closely with others like HMG-CoA reductase. SC5DL also participates in the Kandutsch-Russell pathway interacting with proteins such as DHCR7 to regulate the flow of sterol intermediates and maintain cholesterol homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlterations in SC5DL activity can impact cholesterol levels and are linked to conditions such as congenital disorders of cholesterol biosynthesis. Mutations or dysfunctions in SC5DL associate with lathosterolosis causing developmental abnormalities due to impaired cholesterol synthesis. Additionally changes in expression of SC5DL and its interaction with proteins like DHCR7 have been studied for their implications in metabolic disorders like Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854087245993,"sku":"ab221764","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab221764","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
