From: Dynamics of sterol synthesis during development of Leishmania spp. parasites to their virulent form
Sterol biosynthetic pathway of Leishmania spp. Sterols identified in the current study are labeled in red. Enzymes involved in each step of reaction are: 1, Lanosterol 14-α-demethylase; 2, C-14 sterol reductase; 3, C-5 sterol desaturase; 4, NAD(p)-dependent steroid dehydrogenase-like protein; 5 & 6, unknown; 7, Sterol 24-c-methyltransferase; 8, C-8 sterol isomerase-like protein; 9, Lathosterol oxidase-like protein; 10, Cytochrome p450-like protein; 11, Sterol C-24 reductase; 12, Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase
