Message definition (7-Dehydrocholesterol)
==Biosynthesis==
It is synthesized from [[lathosterol]] by the enzyme [[lathosterol oxidase]] (lathosterol 5-desaturase).  This is the next-to-last step of cholesterol biosynthesis. Defective synthesis results in the human inherited disorder [[lathosterolosis]] resembling [[Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome]]. Mice where this gene has been deleted lose the ability to increase vitamin D<sub>3</sub> in the blood following UV exposure of the skin.
