Research AreasSignal Transduction

Function

Key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Catalyzes the cyclization of (S)-2,3 oxidosqualene to lanosterol, a reaction that forms the sterol nucleus. Through the production of lanosterol may regulate lens protein aggregation and increase transparency.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Peripheral membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed. Expressed in the hair bulb, the outer root sheath and hair matrix of the hair follicle epithelium. Also detected in dermal papilla, epidermis, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and blood vessels
Disease Association: Cataract 44 (CTRCT44) : An opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. In general, the more posteriorly located and dense an opacity, the greater the impact on visual function. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Hypotrichosis 14 (HYPT14) : A form of hypotrichosis, a condition characterized by the presence of less than the normal amount of hair and abnormal hair follicles and shafts, which are thin and atrophic. The extent of scalp and body hair involvement can be very variable, within as well as between families. HYPT14 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by sparse to absent lanugo-like scalp hair, sparse and brittle eyebrows, and sparse eyelashes and body hair. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Alopecia-intellectual disability syndrome 4 (APMR4) : An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by alopecia universalis, scaly skin, mild to severe intellectual disability, delayed or absent speech, and motor delay. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
Pathway: Terpene metabolism; lanosterol biosynthesis; lanosterol from farnesyl diphosphate: step 3/3
