ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.103
Accepted Name |
presqualene diphosphate synthase.
|
Reaction catalysed |
2 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate <=> diphosphate + presqualene 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).
