squalene synthase 1 | Brief Description | squalene synthase 1 |
| TAIR Computational Description | squalene synthase 1;(source:Araport11) |
| TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes squalene synthase, which converts two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) into squalene via an intermediate: presqualene diphosphate (PSPP). It is generally thought to be one of the key enzymes of sterol biosynthesis, since it catalyzes the first pathway-specific reaction of the sterol branch of the isoprenoid pathway. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
