1 Expression of human and murine HSD17B7 in an Erg27p-deficient yeast strain complements the 3-ketosteroid reductase deficiency of the cells and restores growth on sterol-deficient medium. Sterols hydroxysteroid (17-beta) dehydrogenase 7 Mus musculus
2 Expression of human and murine HSD17B7 in an Erg27p-deficient yeast strain complements the 3-ketosteroid reductase deficiency of the cells and restores growth on sterol-deficient medium. Sterols hydroxysteroid (17-beta) dehydrogenase 7 Mus musculus
3 Further critical evidence for a role of HSD17B7 in cholesterol metabolism is provided by the observation that its murine ortholog is a member of the same highly distinct embryonic synexpression group as hydroxymethyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme of sterol biogenesis, and is specifically expressed in tissues that are involved in the pathogenesis of congenital cholesterol-deficiency disorders. Sterols hydroxysteroid (17-beta) dehydrogenase 7 Mus musculus
