Nsdhl - NAD(P) dependent steroid dehydrogenase-like

Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cholesterol metabolic process; hair follicle development; and labyrinthine layer blood vessel development. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplet. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; eye; genitourinary system; integumental system; and nervous system. Used to study Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome and X-linked chondrodysplasia punctata 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CHILD syndrome and CK syndrome. Orthologous to human NSDHL (NAD(P) dependent steroid dehydrogenase-like). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
