What (who) is C-5 sterol desaturase - definition
C-5 sterol desaturase
CLASS OF ENZYMES
C-5 sterol desaturase (also known as sterol C-5 desaturase and C5SD) is an enzyme that is highly conserved among eukaryotes and catalyzes the dehydrogenation of a C-5(6) bond in a sterol intermediate compound as a step in the biosynthesis of major sterols. The precise structure of the enzyme’s substrate varies by species.
ERG3
PROTEIN-CODING GENE IN THE SPECIES SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE S288C
ERG3 or sterol C-5 desaturase is a fungal enzyme originally from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the human ortholog of ERG3 is SC5D. ERG3 localizes to both the endoplasmic reticulum and vesicles, catalyzes the C5(6)-dehydrogenation of episterol to 5-dehydroepisterol, 5-Dehydroepisterol will be further converted into ergosterol.
Linoleoyl-CoA desaturase
CLASS OF ENZYMES
Delta 6 desaturase; EC 1.14.19.3; Linoleoyl-CoA,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase; D6D; Delta-6-desaturase; Delta-6 desaturase; Linoleoyl-coa desaturase
In enzymology, a linoleoyl-CoA desaturase (also Delta 6 desaturase, ) is an enzyme that converts between types of fatty acids, which are essential nutrients in the human body. The enzyme mainly catalyzes the chemical reaction
