NSDHL, an enzyme involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, traffics through the Golgi and accumulates on ER membranes and on the surface of lipid droplets.

Abstract excerpt

NSDHL, for NAD(P)H steroid dehydrogenase-like, encodes a sterol dehydrogenase or decarboxylase involved in the sequential removal of two C-4 methyl groups in post-squalene cholesterol biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with human CHILD syndrome (congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform nevus and limb defects), an X-linked, male lethal disorder, as well as the mouse mutations bare patches and...
