Protein name

Lanosterol synthase (EC 5.4.99.7) (2,3-epoxysqualene--lanosterol cyclase) (Oxidosqualene--lanosterol cyclase) (OSC) (hOSC)

Protein function

Key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Catalyzes the cyclization of (S)-2,3 oxidosqualene to lanosterol, a reaction that forms the sterol nucleus (PubMed:14766201, PubMed:26200341, PubMed:7639730). Through the production of lanoster
