ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.103
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Presqualene diphosphate synthase.
|
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| 2 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate <=> presqualene diphosphate + diphosphate |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Isolated from the green alga Botryococcus braunii BOT22.
- Unlike EC 2.5.1.21, where squalene is formed in one step from
farnesyl diphosphate, in this alga the intermediate presqualene
diphosphate is generated and released by this enzyme.
- This compound is then converted into either squalene (by EC 1.3.1.96)
or botryococcene (EC 1.3.1.97).
