Alternative Name(s)
5-DES
Delta(7)-sterol 5-desaturase
Delta(7)-sterol-C5(6)-desaturase
Delta(7)-sterol Delta(5)-dehydrogenase
lathosterol 5-desaturase
lathosterol oxidase
Reaction catalysed

Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, found in eukaryotic organisms, catalyzes the introduction of a double bond between the C5 and C6 carbons of the B ring of Delta(7)-sterols, to yield the corresponding Delta(5,7)- sterols.
  • The enzymes from yeast, plants and vertebrates act on avenasterol, episterol, and lathosterol, respectively.
  • The enzyme is located at the endoplasmic reticulum and is membrane bound.
  • Formerly EC 1.3.3.2 and EC 1.14.21.6.
