Description
Predicted to have lanosterol synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in cholesterol biosynthetic process. Predicted to localize to lipid droplet. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 44 and hypotrichosis 14. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; integument; liver; pleuroperitoneal region; and skeletal muscle. Orthologous to human LSS (lanosterol synthase).
