Comments

Comment Type Description
Catalytic Activity Squalene + NADPH + O(2) = (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3- dihydrosqualene + NADP(+) + H(2)O.
Cofactor Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692;
Function Catalyzes the first oxygenation step in sterol biosynthesis and is suggested to be one of the rate-limiting enzymes in this pathway.
Pathway Terpene metabolism; lanosterol biosynthesis; lanosterol from farnesyl diphosphate: step 2/3.
Similarity Belongs to the squalene monooxygenase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
Tissue Specificity Expressed in seedlings, leaves, stems, inflorescences and siliques. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17426032}.
