Protein name Squalene synthase (SQS) (SS) (EC 2.5.1.21) (FPP:FPP farnesyltransferase) (Farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase) (Farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1)
Protein 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
