Squalene synthase

spinqualitylabelsall models Structure of human SQS complex with FPP analog (PDB code 3wef). Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image   Print3D Function Squalene synthase (SQS) catalyzes the conversion of 2 molecules of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) to the isoprenoid squalene. SQS is part of the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway. SQS catalysis is the first step in the sterols synthesis including cholesterol.
