Ebp

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. This protein catalyses the conversion of delta8 to delta7 sterols, an important step in sterol biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene are responsible for the mouse tattered mutant phenotype. Tattered males are embryonic lethal, while heterozygous females have developmental defects. Deficiency of the related gene in human causes X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ebp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
