Use of Δ7-sterol 5(6)-desaturaseThis enzyme, found in eukaryotic organisms, catalyses the introduction of a double bond between the C5 and C6 carbons of the B ring of Δ7-sterols, to yield the corresponding Δ5,7-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. Reaction: a Δ7-sterol + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = a Δ5,7-sterol + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + 2 H2O |
