GO:0000254 Definition Catalysis of the oxidation of the 4-alpha methyl group of 4,4-dimethylzymosterol, the first step in the removal of the two C-4 methyl groups of 4,4-dimethylzymosterol in ergosterol biosynthesis.
Catalysis of the reaction: 4,4-dimethyl-5-alpha-cholesta-8,24-dien-3-beta-ol + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = 4-beta-hydroxymethyl-4-alpha-methyl-5-alpha-cholesta-8,24-dien-3-beta-ol + NAD(P)+ + H2O.
