Comments

Comment Type Description
Cofactor Name=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:24875; Evidence= ;
Developmental Stage Detected at low levels in sciatic nerve from newborns. Levels increase strongly during the first 3 weeks, and decrease thereafter to reach a low, constitutive level in 4 week olds. Expressed at a low, constitutive level in adults
Domain The histidine box domains may contain the active site and/or be involved in metal ion binding.
Function Required for alpha-hydroxylation of free fatty acids and the formation of alpha-hydroxylated sphingolipids
Induction Up-regulated in sciatic nerve during myelination. Up- regulated in differentiating cultured Schwann cells
Similarity Belongs to the sterol desaturase family. SCS7 subfamily
Similarity Contains 1 cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain
Subcellular Location Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Microsome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .
Tissue Specificity Detected in oligodendrocytes (at protein level). Detected in sciatic nerve. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16998236, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17901466}.
