General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function enzyme transfers either one or two methyl groups to the C-24 position of the sterol side chain producing both C28 and C29 24-alkylsterols in approximately the same proportions. Expression of SAM:SMT in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae Erg6 mutant restores its ability to produce ergosterol as the major sterol, and also results in low levels of C29 sterols such as pneumocysterol Pneumocystis carinii
