sterol 24-C-methyltransferase
Requires glutathione. Acts on a range of sterols with a 24(25)-double bond in the sidechain. While zymosterol is the preferred substrate it also acts on desmosterol, 5α-cholesta-7,24-dien-3β-ol, 5α-cholesta-5,7,24-trien-3β-ol, 4α-methylzymosterol and others. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine attacks the Si-face of the 24(25) double bond and the C-24 hydrogen is transferred to C-25 on the Re face of the double bond.
