DELTA7-sterol,ferrocytochrome b5:oxygen oxidoreductase 5,6-dehydrogenating
This enzyme, found in eukaryotic organisms, catalyses the introduction of a double bond between the C5 and C6 carbons of the B ring of Delta7-sterols, to yield the corresponding Delta5,7-sterols. The enzymes from yeast, plants and vertebrates act on avenasterol, episterol, and lathosterol, respectively. The enzyme is located at the endoplasmic reticulum and is membrane bound.
