show Brenda entry

EC number

1.14.21.6

Accepted name

lathosterol oxidase

Reaction

5α-cholest-7-en-3β-ol + NAD(P)H + H⁺ + O₂ = cholesta-5,7-dien-3β-ol + NAD(P)⁺ + 2 H₂O

Other name(s)

Δ⁷-sterol Δ⁵-dehydrogenase, Δ⁷-sterol 5-desaturase, Δ⁷-sterol-C5(6)-desaturase, 5-DES

Systematic name

5α-cholest-7-en-3β-ol,NAD(P)H:oxygen 5-oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

37255-37-1

Comment

This enzyme catalyses the introduction of a C₅ double bond into the B ring of Δ⁷-sterols to yield the corresponding Δ^5,7-sterols in mammals, yeast and plants [4]. Forms part of the plant sterol biosynthesis pathway.

History

created 1972 as EC 1.3.3.2, transferred 2005 to EC 1.14.21.6, deleted 2015
