Symbol: ERG3 Name: ERGosterol biosynthesis Alias: PSO6;SYR1 Entrez gene ID: 850745 Ensembl gene ID: YLR056W Species: Yeast (Taxid: 4932) Functional description: Erg3p; C-5 sterol desaturase, catalyzes the introduction of a C-5(6) double bond into episterol, a precursor in ergosterol biosynthesis; mutants are viable, but cannot grow on non-fermentable carbon sources [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004046] [Ensembl]; C-5 sterol desaturase, glycoprotein that catalyzes the introduction of a C-5(6) double bond into episterol, a precursor in ergosterol biosynthesis; mutants are viable, but cannot grow on non-fermentable carbon sources; substrate of the HRD ubiquitin ligase [SGD] Observation: Deletion of ERG3 decreases replicative lifespan under AL, cancels out replicative lifespan extension of 0.5% glucose DR and results under DR also into a shorter replicative lifespan than under AL [18690010].
