Dhcr24 - 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor; and peptide antigen binding activity. Involved in skin development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including amyloid precursor protein catabolic process; cholesterol biosynthetic process; and plasminogen activation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; cytosol; and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lipid metabolism disorder. Orthologous to human DHCR24 (24-dehydrocholesterol reductase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
