Preferred Label : 7-Dehydrocholesterol Reductase;

NCIt synonyms : EC 1.3.1.21; Delta7-Sterol Reductase; Sterol Reductase SR-2; Sterol Delta-7-Reductase; DHCR7; 7-DHC Reductase; Delta-7-Dehydrocholesterol Reductase; Sterol Delta(7)-Reductase;

NCIt definition : 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (475 aa, 54 kDa) is encoded by the human DHCR7 gene. This protein is involved in reducing the C7-C8 double bonds in cholesta-5,7-dien-3beta-ol (7-dehydrocholesterol/7-DHC) and cholesta-5,7,24-trien-3beta-ol during cholesterol biosynthesis.;
