General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function reaction mechanism of C4-methyl sterol formation is a two-step process of bound 3-oxo sterol undergoing active site isomerization to the 4-enol intermediate that is methylated by SAM in a stereoselective manner to yield the C4alpha- (equatorial) methyl group, followed by rearrangement of the enol back to the 3-oxo form Caenorhabditis elegans
