Background
| Function | FUNCTION: Catalyzes the condensation of 2 farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) moieties to form squalene. Proceeds in two distinct steps. In the first half-reaction, two molecules of FPP react to form the stable presqualene diphosphate intermediate (PSQPP), with concomitant release of a proton and a molecule of inorganic diphosphate. In the second half-reaction, PSQPP undergoes heterolysis, isomerization, and reduction with NADPH or NADH to form squalene. It is the first committed enzyme of the sterol biosynthesis pathway. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10896663, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24531458}. |
| Pathway | Terpene metabolism; lanosterol biosynthesis; lanosterol from farnesyl diphosphate: step 1/3. |
| Protein Families | Phytoene/squalene synthase family |
| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29909962}. |
