Desmosterol and DHCR24: unexpected new directions for a terminal step in cholesterol synthesis.

TL;DR: It is apparent that DHCR24 exerts more complex effects than what would be expected based on the enzymatic activity of sterol Δ(24)-reduction alone, such as its influence in modulating oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

The endogenous regulator 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol inhibits cholesterol synthesis at DHCR24 (Seladin-1)

TL;DR: A novel role is introduced for 24,25EC in cholesterol homeostasis, through its rapid inhibition of cholesterol synthesis at DHCR24, resulting in the rapid accumulation of the substrate desmosterol, at the expense of cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signaling regulates activity of DHCR24, the final enzyme in cholesterol synthesis.

TL;DR: The data indicate a novel mechanism whereby DHCR24 activity is regulated by signaling, and determined the effect of known phosphorylation sites and found that mutating certain residues inhibited DH CR24 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid metabolism and its implications for type 1 diabetes-associated cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: The current review addresses the changes in lipid metabolism occurring in the type 1 diabetic heart and how they are implicated in disease progression and the pathological pathways linked to cardiac lipotoxicity are discussed.
