Abstract excerpt
3Beta-hydroxysterol Delta(14)-reductase operates during the conversion of lanosterol to cholesterol in mammalian cells. Besides the endoplasmic reticulum 3beta-hydroxysterol Delta(14)-reductase (C14SR) encoded by TM7SF2 gene, the lamin B receptor (LBR) of the inner nuclear membrane possesses 3beta-hydroxysterol Delta(14)-reductase activity, based on its ability to complement C14SR-defective yeast strains. LBR was...
