Protein
Squalene synthase
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
444 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the condensation of 2 two farnesyl pyrophosphate moieties to form squalene. It is the first committed enzyme of the sterol biosynthesis pathway. Required for the biosynthesis of ergosterol. May also have a regulatory role regulating the flux of isoprene intermediates through the sterol pathway. Squalene synthase is crucial for balancing the incorporation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) into sterol and nonsterol isoprene synthesis. ERG9 is also essential for cell growth in yeast.
Similarity
Belongs to the phytoene/squalene synthase family.
