| Gene Description | DHCR24/Seladin-1 was identified as a molecular basis for desmosterolosis. It encodes for 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase. This enzyme reduces desmosterol in cholesterol biosynthesis. Recessive mutations in this gene in desmosterolosis patients lead to a defective enzyme resulting in increased levels of desmosterol. DHCR24/Seladin-1 is induced upon oxidative stress and was found to mediate Ras-induced senescence resulting from increased reactive oxygen species. Studies further indicate that the level of DHCR24/Seladin-1 is induced in the acute response and reduced in the chronic response to oxidative stress in a cholesterol dependent manner. Moreover, overexpression of DHCR24/Seladin-1 bearing two mutations that abolish its reductase acitivity causes the cells to lose protection from oxidative stress. These findings thus link the reductase activity of DHCR24/Seladin-1 to its protective role in oxidative stress. This enzyme has also been demonstrated to be a hydrogen peroxide scavenger. |
