Comments
Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityS-adenosyl-L-methionine + 5-alpha-cholesta- 8,24-dien-3-beta-ol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 24-methylene-5- alpha-cholest-8-en-3-beta-ol.
FunctionCatalyzes the methyl transfer from S-adenosyl-methionine to the C-24 of zymosterol to form fecosterol.
