ERG3 or sterol C-5 desaturase is a fungal enzyme originally from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the human ortholog of ERG3 is SC5D.[1] ERG3 localizes to both the endoplasmic reticulum and vesicles,[2][3] catalyzes the C5(6)-dehydrogenation of episterol to 5-dehydroepisterol, 5-Dehydroepisterol will be further converted into ergosterol.[4][5]
