May play a role in the metabolism of endogenous lipids such as epoxide-containing fatty acids. (455 aa)
QdprDihydropteridine reductase; The product of this enzyme, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH-4), is an essential cofactor for phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan hydroxylases; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. (241 aa)
ItpkbInositol-trisphosphate 3-kinase B. (934 aa)
Hsd17b73-keto-steroid reductase; Responsible for the reduction of the keto group on the C-3 of sterols; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. ERG27 subfamily. (335 aa)
Insig2Insulin-induced gene 2 protein; Mediates feedback control of cholesterol synthesis by controlling SCAP and HMGCR. Functions by blocking the processing of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). Capable of retaining the SCAP-SREBF2 complex in the ER thus preventing it from escorting SREBPs to the Golgi. Seems to regulate the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of HMGCR (By similarity). (225 aa)
IpmkInositol polyphosphate multikinase; Inositol phosphate kinase with a broad substrate specificity. Phosphorylates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) first to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and then to inositol 1,3,4,5,6- pentakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5). Phosphorylates inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,6)P4) (By similarity). Phosphorylates glycero-3-phospho-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate to glycero-3-phospho-1D-myo-inositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Plays an important role in MLKL-mediated necroptosis via its role in the biosynthesis of inositol pentakisphospha [...] (396 aa)
Pcbd1Pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase; Involved in tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis. Seems to both prevent the formation of 7-pterins and accelerate the formation of quinonoid-BH2. Coactivator for HNF1A-dependent transcription. Regulates the dimerization of homeodomain protein HNF1A and enhances its transcriptional activity; Belongs to the pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase family. (104 aa)
Nus1NUS1 dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase subunit. (293 aa)
Srd5a3Polyprenol reductase; Plays a key role in early steps of protein N-linked glycosylation by being required for the conversion of polyprenol into dolichol. Dolichols are required for the synthesis of dolichol-linked monosaccharides and the oligosaccharide precursor used for N- glycosylation. Acts as a polyprenol reductase that promotes the reduction of the alpha-isoprene unit of polyprenols into dolichols in a NADP-dependent mechanism. Also able to convert testosterone (T) into 5- alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). (330 aa)
