Other Information

## Summary DHCR24 is a protein that catalyzes the reduction of 24-dehydrocholesterol (24-DH) to 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OHC). This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and is expressed in various cell types throughout the body. ## Key characteristics * **Function:** 24-DHCR24 protein is involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and is highly expressed in the liver, kidney, and adrenal gland. * **Subcellular location:** The protein is found in the endoplasmic reticulum. * **Molecular weight:** 125 kDa * **Isoform:** There is only one known isoform of DHCR24, which is expressed in humans. ## Pathways and functions DHCR24 protein is involved in multiple pathways related to cholesterol biosynthesis, including: * **Cholesterol biosynthesis via desmosterol:** DHCR24 is a key enzyme in the desmosterol pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, which is responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. * **Cholesterol biosynthesis via lathosterol:** DHCR24 can also reduce lathosterol to 25-OHC, which is a precursor for the synthesis of bile acids. * **Steroid metabolic process:** DHCR24 is involved in the metabolism of steroids, including cholesterol. ## Clinical significance Mutations in DHCR24 have been linked to several human diseases, including: * **Hypercholesterolemia:** High levels of DHCR24 protein have been linked to hypercholesterolemia, a condition characterized by high levels of cholesterol in the blood. * **Atherosclerosis:** DHCR24 mutations have also been linked to the development of atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to heart disease and stroke. * **Cancer:** DHCR24 mutations have been linked to the development of some types of cancer, including breast cancer and lung cancer. **Conclusion** DHCR24 is an important protein involved in the biosynthesis and metabolism of cholesterol in humans. Mutations in DHCR24 have been linked to several human diseases, highlighting the importance of this protein in maintaining cholesterol homeostasis and preventing the development of various diseases.
