Presqualene diphosphate synthase
open-in-new
<p>Presqualene diphosphate synthase (<a href="/facts/Enzyme_Commission_number/Y5GNLRKX">EC</a> <a href="https://enzyme.expasy.org/EC/2.5.1.103">2.5.1.103</a>, <i>SSL-1 (gene)</i>) is an <a href="/facts/Enzyme/DSI1Fh7y">enzyme</a> with <a href="/facts/List_of_enzymes/w2RP6EwU">systematic name</a> <i>(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase (presqualene diphosphate forming)</i>. This enzyme <a href="/facts/Catalysis/LPBS7TQC">catalyses</a> the following <a href="/facts/Chemical_reaction/GpqWlKrz">chemical reaction</a> </p> 2 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } presqualene diphosphate + diphosphate <p>This enzyme is isolated from the green alga <i><a href="/facts/Botryococcus_braunii/rNrEWksQ">Botryococcus braunii</a> BOT22</i>. </p>
