Comment
This plant enzyme catalyses a step in the biosynthesis of sterols. It acts on the methyl group of the 4alpha-methylated intermediates 24-ethylidenelophenol and 24-methylidenelophenol and catalyses three successive oxidations, turning it into a carboxyl group. The carboxylate is subsequently removed by EC
1.1.1.418 , plant 3beta-hydroxysteroid-4alpha-carboxylate 3-dehydrogenase (decarboxylating). Unlike the fungal/animal enzyme EC
1.14.18.9 , 4alpha-methylsterol monooxygenase, this enzyme is not able to act on 4,4-dimethylated substrates. That activity, which occurs earlier in the pathway, is performed in plants by a second enzyme, EC
1.14.18.10 , plant 4,4-dimethylsterol C-4alpha-methyl-monooxygenase.
