Sterol-Δ14-reductase (also: C14-sterol-reductase, C14SR) are called enzymes in cholesterol biosynthesis . The enzymes catalyze the hydrogenation of 4,4-dimethyl-5α-cholesta-8,14,24-trien-3β-ol, after which 14-demethyllanosterol is formed. It takes place in most eukaryotes . In humans, there are two enzymes with Δ14 sterol reductase activity: TM7SF2 ( gene name: TM7SF2 ) is located in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), while the lamin B receptor (gene name: LBR ) is located on the Inner membrane of the cell nucleus can be found. In humans, TM7SF2 is mainly formed in the heart , brain , pancreas , lungs , liver , muscles , kidneys , ovaries , prostate and testes . LBR also appears to be involved in chromatin organization and nucleus import.

C14SR is redundant in cholesterol biosynthesis; Knockout mice without the TM7SF2 gene show normal metabolic values. In contrast, mutations in the LBR gene can lead to rare hereditary diseases such as the Pelger-Huët anomaly or Greenberg dysplasia .

Catalyzed reaction
