Rabbit Anti-DHCR7, CT (DHCR7, D7SR, 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, Putative sterol reductase SR-2, Sterol Delta(7)-reductase)
DHCR7, D7SR, 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, Putative sterol reductase SR-2, Sterol Delta(7)-reductase

This gene encodes an enzyme that removes the C(7-8) double bond in the B ring of sterols and catalyzes the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol. This gene is ubiquitously expressed and its transmembrane protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nuclear outer membrane. Mutations in this gene cause Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS); a syndrome that is metabolically characterized by reduced serum cholesterol levels and elevated serum 7-dehydrocholesterol levels and phenotypically characterized by mental retardation, facial dysmorphism, syndactyly of second and third toes, and holoprosencephaly in severe cases to minimal physical abnormalities and near-normal intelligence in mild cases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.
