24-methylenecholesterol + NADPH + H+ | GC-MS analysis suggests that the reaction proceeds with retention of the C-25 hydrogen. The 25-H retention is established by the incubation of the enzyme with (23,23,25-2H3,28-13C)-24-methylenecholesterol, followed by 13C NMR analysis of the resulting campesterol | Ajuga reptans | campesterol + NADP+ | - |

additional information | Dimunito/Dwarf1 (DWF1) is an oxidoreductase enzyme that is responsible for the conversion of C28- and C29-DELTA24(28)-olefinic sterols to 24-methyl- and 24-ethylcholesterols. An in vivo assay of OsDWF1 supports the generally accepted two-step mechanism because the C-25 hydrogen of 24-methylenecholesterol is eliminated during its conversion to 24-methylcholesterol | Oryza sativa | ? | - |

additional information | ArDWF1 has another unique property in that only campesterol is formed by the direct reduction catalyzed by the enzyme. Ajuga plants have unique sterol profiles in which clerosterol and dehydroclerosterol are the major sterols | Ajuga reptans |
physiological function | ArDWF1 functions as the sole enzyme responsible for biosynthesis of 24-methylcholesterol in the Ajuga plant | Ajuga reptans |
