Enriched in neurons based on RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including mut-2; eri-1; and dpy-21 based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domain: AH/BAR domain superfamily.
Predicted to enable 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase activity. Predicted to be involved in brassinosteroid biosynthetic process and cholesterol biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Greenberg dysplasia; Pelger-Huet anomaly; and autoimmune disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human DHCR7 (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase).
