Summary
MSMO1 (methylsterol monooxygenase 1, HGNC:10545) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q32.3, encoding Methylsterol monooxygenase 1 (Q15800). Catalyzes the three-step monooxygenation required for the demethylation of 4,4-dimethyl and 4alpha-methylsterols, which can be subsequently metabolized to cholesterol.
Sterol-C4-mehtyl oxidase-like protein was isolated based on its similarity to the yeast ERG25 protein. It contains a set of putative metal binding motifs with similarity to that seen in a family of membrane desaturases-hydroxylases. The protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is believed to function in cholesterol biosynthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Catalyzes the three-step monooxygenation required for the demethylation of 4,4-dimethyl and 4alpha-methylsterols, which can be subsequently metabolized to cholesterol. Also involved in drug metabolism, as it can metabolize eldecalcitol (ED-71 or 1alpha,25-dihydroxy-2beta-(3-hydroxypropoxy)-cholecalciferol), a second-generation vitamin D analog, into 1alpha,2beta,25-trihydroxy vitamin D3; this reaction occurs via enzymatic hydroxylation and spontaneous O-dehydroxypropylation.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated by MARCHF6, leading to proteasomal degradation.
Disease relevance. Microcephaly, congenital cataract, and psoriasiform dermatitis (MCCPD) [MIM:616834] An autosomal recessive inborn error of cholesterol metabolism characterized by accumulation of a large amount of methylsterols, particularly dimethylsterols, in affected individuals. Patients manifest psoriasiform dermatitis, arthralgias, congenital cataracts, microcephaly, and developmental delay. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The histidine box domains may contain the active site and/or be involved in metal ion binding.
Pathway. Steroid biosynthesis; zymosterol biosynthesis; zymosterol from lanosterol: step 3/6. Steroid biosynthesis; cholesterol biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the sterol desaturase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 131 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
