1 Squalene synthetase (farnesyl diphosphate:farnesyl diphosphate farnesyltransferase; EC 2.5.1.21) is thought to represent a major control point of isoprene and sterol biosynthesis in eukaryotes. Sterols farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Inhibition of sterol synthesis in S. cerevisiae and S. pombe cells or in cultured human fibroblasts by treatment with the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor lovastatin resulted in elevated levels of squalene synthetase mRNA in all three cell types. Sterols farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
