Summary
This is an intronless gene that is involved in cholesterol and lipid metabolism. The encoded protein is a membrane protein and contains clusters of histidine residues essential for catalytic activity. Unlike most other sterol hydroxylases, this enzyme is a member of a small family of enzymes that utilize diiron cofactors to catalyze the hydroxylation of hydrophobic substrates.

Comments

Comment Type Description
Catalytic Activity Cholesterol + AH(2) + O(2) = 25- hydroxycholesterol + A + H(2)O.
Cofactor Name=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI
Function Catalyzes the formation of 25-hydroxycholesterol from cholesterol, leading to repress cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes. May play an important role in regulating lipid metabolism by synthesizing a corepressor that blocks sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) processing. In testis, production of 25- hydroxycholesterol by macrophages may play a role in Leydig cell differentiation.
Ptm N-glycosylated.
Similarity Belongs to the sterol desaturase family.
Subcellular Location Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO
