Protein
Lanosterol synthase
Organism
Rattus norvegicus
Function
Catalyzes the cyclization of (S)-2,3 oxidosqualene to lanosterol, a reaction that forms the sterol nucleus. Through the production of lanosterol may regulate lens protein aggregation and increase transparency.
Similarity
Belongs to the terpene cyclase/mutase family.
