Lanosterol synthase
Definition:
EC Tree > 5 Isomerases > 5.4 Intramolecular transferases > 5.4.99 Transferring other groups > 5.4.99.7 Lanosterol synthase
Lanosterol synthase cyclizes (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene into lanosterol, the first cyclic intermediate in animal/fungal sterol biosynthesis. It is found in Eukaryota and Bacteria. Structurally it is an OSC.
