DHCR24 divergent transcript (DHCR24-DT)

DHCR24-DT (DHCR24 divergent transcript) is a non-coding RNA gene located in proximity to the DHCR24 protein-coding gene, which encodes 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase—a key enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. The divergent transcript is not a protein, therapeutic target, or classified receptor/enzyme, but may have regulatory genomic functions yet to be clarified. No information is available supporting its use, interaction with drugs, disease association, or role as a biomarker. The terms “ESSENCE, EGF Signal Sensing CAD’s Effect” are not referenced in standard gene, protein, or drug databases and appear to be incorrect or speculative aliases for DHCR24-DT. There is no evidence that DHCR24-DT functions in EGF signaling, CAD effect, or cholesterol biosynthesis as a protein or molecular target. If you are seeking information regarding the protein DHCR24 (24-dehydrocholesterol reductase), it is a well-established enzyme in cholesterol metabolism and associated with diseases such as desmosterolosis. However, DHCR24-DT (the divergent transcript) remains a poorly characterized non-coding RNA.
