| Function |
Catalyzes C14-demethylation of lanosterol; it transforms lanosterol into 4,4'-dimethyl cholesta-8,14,24-triene-3-beta-ol. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20149798}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000305}. Microsome membrane {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in testis, ovary, adrenal, prostate, liver, kidney and lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8619637}.
