Homo sapiens

Also known as ERG3; S5DES; SC5DL

Gene ID: 6309 | Gene type: protein coding

About SC5D

Cytogenetic location: 11q23.3-q24.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:121,292,771-121,313,410 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 251 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 29.7), prostate (RPKM 24.2) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes an Enzyme of Cholesterol biosynthesis. The encoded protein catalyzes the conversion of lathosterol into 7-dehydrocholesterol. Mutations in this gene have been associated with lathosterolosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
