In enzymology, a lathosterol oxidase (EC 1.14.21.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
![Lathosterol oxidase.svg](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Lathosterol_oxidase.svg/480px-Lathosterol_oxidase.svg.png)
The five substrates of this enzyme are 5α-cholest-7-en-3β-ol, NADH, NADPH, H+, and O2. Its four products are cholesta-5,7-dien-3β-ol (provitamin D3), NAD+, NADP+, and H2O.
Classification[]
This enzyme is one of C-5 sterol desaturases, belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2 with NADH or NADPH as one donor, and the other dehydrogenated.
Nomenclature[]
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5α-cholest-7-en-3β-ol,NAD(P)H:oxygen 5-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include Δ7-sterol Δ5-dehydrogenase, Δ7-sterol 5-desaturase, Δ7-sterol-C5(6)-desaturase, and 5-DES.
Biological role[]
This enzyme participates in biosynthesis of steroids. It has two cofactors: FAD, and FMN.
