Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Cellular localization**: TM7SF2 is expressed in various cell types, including cortical cells of the adrenal gland, hepatoblasts, granulosa cells, and primary sensory neurons. 2. **Regulation of gene expression**: TM7SF2 is activated by SREBP, a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. 3. **Enzyme activity**: The gene's product, ERG24_HUMAN, is a Delta14-sterol reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of cholesterol to 14-dehydrocholesterol. 4. **Involvement in cholesterol biosynthesis**: TM7SF2 is involved in the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis, a process that is essential for the production of cholesterol in the body. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Cholesterol biosynthesis pathway**: TM7SF2 is involved in the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis, a process that involves the conversion of acetyl-CoA to cholesterol. 2. **Delta14-sterol reductase activity**: The gene's product, ERG24_HUMAN, catalyzes the reduction of cholesterol to 14-dehydrocholesterol, a crucial step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. 3. **Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function**: TM7SF2 is localized to the ER, a organelle involved in protein folding, lipid synthesis, and cholesterol biosynthesis. 4. **Regulation of lipid metabolism**: TM7SF2 is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism, a process that involves the breakdown and synthesis of lipids in the body. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Cholesterol disorders**: TM7SF2 dysregulation has been implicated in various cholesterol disorders, including hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. 2. **Cancer**: TM7SF2 has been identified as a potential oncogene in certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and colon cancer. 3. **Neurological disorders**: TM7SF2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. 4. **Infectious diseases**: TM7SF2 has been identified as a potential target for the treatment of infectious diseases, including tuberculosis and malaria. In conclusion, the TM7SF2 gene plays a crucial role in the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis and lipid metabolism. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms by which TM7SF2 regulates these processes and to explore its potential applications in the treatment of various diseases.
