| Sysname |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:zymosterol 24-C-methyltransferase |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 5alpha-cholesta-8,24-dien-3beta-ol =
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine +
24-methylene-5alpha-cholest-8-en-3beta-ol [RN:R04427] |
| Reaction(KEGG) |
R04427;
(other) R07481
 |
| Substrate |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD:C00019];
5alpha-cholesta-8,24-dien-3beta-ol [CPD:C05437] |
| Product |
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:C00021];
24-methylene-5alpha-cholest-8-en-3beta-ol [CPD:C04525] |
| Cofactor |
Glutathione [CPD:C00051] |
| Comment |
Requires glutathione. Acts on a range of sterols with a
24(25)-double bond in the sidechain. While zymosterol is the
preferred substrate it also acts on desmosterol,
5alpha-cholesta-7,24-dien-3beta-ol,
5alpha-cholesta-5,7,24-trien-3beta-ol, 4alpha-methylzymosterol and
others. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine attacks the Si-face of the 24(25)
double bond and the C-24 hydrogen is transferred to C-25 on the Re
face of the double bond. |
