Sterol-C4-methyloxidase-like/methylsterol monooxygenase 1 (SC4MOL, DESP4, ERG25, MSMO1) is an endoplasmic reticulum enzyme that catalyzes the demethylation of C4-methlysterols (meiosis-activating sterols, MAS) in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. Defective/mutated SC4MOL contributes to psoriasiform dermatitis, microcephaly, and developmental delay.
Synonyms: Anti-DESP4; Anti-ERG25; Anti-MGC104344; Anti-Sterol-C4-methyloxidase-like
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-SC4MOL polyclonal antibody is used to tag sterol-C4-methyloxidase-like for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of sterol-C4-methyloxidase-like in the management of C4-methlysterols (meiosis-activating sterols, MAS) levels.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Sterol-C4-mehtyl oxidase-like protein was isolated based on its similarity to the yeast ERG25 protein. It contains a set of putative metal binding motifs with similarity to that seen in a family of membrane desaturases-hydroxylases.Sterol-C4-mehtyl oxidase-like protein was isolated based on its similarity to the yeast ERG25 protein. It contains a set of putative metal binding motifs with similarity to that seen in a family of membrane desaturases-hydroxylases. The protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is believed to function in cholesterol biosynthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
