Cholesta-5,7,24-trien-3beta-ol and NADPH + H+ react to form desmosterol and NADP+. This reaction is catalyzed by DHCR7, associated with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The biochemical details of the reaction are inferred from those of the reaction catalyzed by the well-studied rat enzyme (Bae et al. 1999).
