"DHCR7" - 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase in Homo sapiens
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
some 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

DHCR77-dehydrocholesterol reductase; Production of cholesterol by reduction of C7-C8 double bond of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC); Belongs to the ERG4/ERG24 family (475 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
DHCR24
Delta(24)-sterol reductase; Catalyzes the reduction of the delta-24 double bond of sterol intermediates. Protects cells from oxidative stress by reducing caspase 3 activity during apoptosis induced by oxidative stress. Also protects against amyloid-beta peptide-induced apoptosis; Belongs to the FAD-binding oxidoreductase/transferase type 4 family (516 aa)
     
 
  0.988
SC5D
Lathosterol oxidase; Catalyzes a dehydrogenation to introduce C5-6 double bond into lathosterol; Belongs to the sterol desaturase family (299 aa)
     
  0.985
SREBF2
Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2; Transcriptional activator required for lipid homeostasis. Regulates transcription of the LDL receptor gene as well as the cholesterol and to a lesser degree the fatty acid synthesis pathway (By similarity). Binds the sterol regulatory element 1 (SRE-1) (5’-ATCACCCCAC-3’) found in the flanking region of the LDRL and HMG-CoA synthase genes; Basic helix-loop-helix proteins (1141 aa)
     
 
  0.973
LSS
Lanosterol synthase; Catalyzes the cyclization of (S)-2,3 oxidosqualene to lanosterol, a reaction that forms the sterol nucleus. Through the production of lanosterol may regulate lens protein aggregation and increase transparency; Belongs to the terpene cyclase/mutase family (732 aa)
     
   
  0.961
NSDHL
Sterol-4-alpha-carboxylate 3-dehydrogenase, decarboxylating; Involved in the sequential removal of two C-4 methyl groups in post-squalene cholesterol biosynthesis; Short chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily (373 aa)
     
 
  0.953
SOAT1
Sterol O-acyltransferase 1; Catalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters, which are less soluble in membranes than cholesterol. Plays a role in lipoprotein assembly and dietary cholesterol absorption. In addition to its acyltransferase activity, it may act as a ligase (550 aa)
       
  0.932
SQLE
Squalene monooxygenase; Catalyzes the first oxygenation step in sterol biosynthesis and is suggested to be one of the rate-limiting enzymes in this pathway; Belongs to the squalene monooxygenase family (574 aa)
     
 
  0.929
LIPA
Lysosomal acid lipase/cholesteryl ester hydrolase; Crucial for the intracellular hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides that have been internalized via receptor- mediated endocytosis of lipoprotein particles. Important in mediating the effect of LDL (low density lipoprotein) uptake on suppression of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase and activation of endogenous cellular cholesteryl ester formation; Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family (399 aa)
     
  0.927
CYP7A1
Cholesterol 7-alpha-monooxygenase; Catalyzes a rate-limiting step in cholesterol catabolism and bile acid biosynthesis by introducing a hydrophilic moiety at position 7 of cholesterol. Important for cholesterol homeostasis; Cytochrome P450 family 7 (504 aa)
     
  0.924
SOAT2
Sterol O-acyltransferase 2; Plays a role in lipoprotein assembly and dietary cholesterol absorption. In addition to its acyltransferase activity, it may act as a ligase. May provide cholesteryl esters for lipoprotein secretion from hepatocytes and intestinal mucosa; Belongs to the membrane-bound acyltransferase family. Sterol o-acyltransferase subfamily (522 aa)
