ENZYME entry: EC 1.17.8.1

Accepted Name
hydroxysqualene dehydroxylase
Reaction catalysed
FAD + H(+) + H2O + squalene <=> FADH2 + hydroxysqualene
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, isolated from the bacteria Rhodopseudomonas palustris and Zymomonas mobilis, participates, along with EC 2.5.1.103 and EC 4.2.3.156, in the conversion of all-trans-farnesyl diphosphate to squalene.
  • Eukaryotes achieve the same goal in a single step, catalyzed by EC 2.5.1.21.
